New Hermit Crab Mom

AW, those are so cool! At my petstore they always looked so boring, cause they are never showing themselves at all, but those pics make them look a bit more fun then I thought they were

Congrats on your new additions!

If they are not kept at the right temps, humidity, or given plenty of fresh water, they won't be nearly as active. That's the secret!

How often do they swap shells?

[ramanth]

I guess it just depends on the crab. I can't recall every seeing a crab swap so much. The two I had years ago never swapped shells, but then, I didn't keep them in the best of conditions.

This is a great info page about crabs and their shells:

So cool!

The only experience I have with hermit crabs are the ones we pick up at the beach.

That's really cool Kay! I wish I could see some of the species I have as pets in their native enviroment.
