Finding the right shell size
Finding the right shell size
I need help finding the right shell size but the thing is that both of my crabs are molting (M&M just went down yesterday and Hallow went a few weeks ago) and I don't have a ruler to measure them and I couldn't go out to get one either due to personal reasons they're both purple pinchers and I'm aware that they like turbos and round openings anyways how I can get the right shell size without being able to measure them and where should I buy the shells from?

Re: Finding the right shell size
If you can’t measure you’ll have to guess-timate. It’s not a reliable method so you may have to buy a few different sizes that are close.
Some craft stores or seashell gift shops will have shells, otherwise online retailers like Naples Seashells or Richard’s Seashells are pretty reliable.

Re: Finding the right shell size
Most crabs won't fuss about 1/8 to 1/4 inch jumps in size, so it never needs to be "perfect".
