Norman, my largest, has a large hole in his shell, on the underside where the spiral ends, and you can see his soft rear end through it. I refuse to believe that it is comfortable, and he is loosing moisture!
Dexter was in a very tiny shell when we purchased him, one that he looked very comfy in. But he swapped into a much larger shell, and it is WAY TOO BIG for him. He looks like he is wearing a huge sombero. It is so big it is hampering his movements. It keeps pulling him over backwards.
Harley was trying on shells for awhile, then settled back in his original, then bullied Herman out of his, and now they have switched back. So obviously he is 'shopping around', and Im worried about potential shellfights. Harley has been showing aggressive signs. Herman and Harley are both getting a bit big for their shells.
So, I have given them every shell I could find for them. However, finding decent shells is nearly impossible! And the ones I think are idea, they seem to ignore. I bought one shell from a pet store, and then it broke into pieces in my hand. Finding shells is near impossible - at least up here in Canada.
So I looked online. NaplesSeaShell Co. looked great, but they don't ship to Canada.
But the Crabbage Patch does, and it is nice to support someone who has such a good hermit crab program going!I am just so happy, and I am really looking forward to receiving me (large) shell order! I just wanted to remind everyone of what a great place The CrabbagePatch is, and maybe throw some more business their way.
Another long post, I know. At least I'm enthusiastic!
