My first hermit crab didn't like to be held. My suggestion would be to in the store leave them out and see who moves the most... Or who you fall in love with. Lol. But My crabs love to be held and have "floor time" Where I just watch them and let them rome around. Michelle changes shells every few days... Even if the shell is too big or small for her . And Cermit I rescued from a shop on the beach where all the crabs were either sickly looking or dead. He's only changed shells once, the day after I got him. They make grat pets, and can be funny too.
