Hermit Crap Wierdness
 

Ok, I got home just now to a puzzling site.. i had a dead hermit crab (just the body part) on one of my fake plants.. Yet, all three of my hermits are still alive, so WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?.. im confused.. any ideas?.. LOL.. thanx.. I mean, it was the whole part of the hermit that comes outta the shell. But they are all still there and alive.. arrgg.. maybe im missing something.. any ideas would be appreciated.. Thanx

it molted :biggrin:

Sounds like it molted to me. They need to do this to grow.

pheeww.. ok, thanx, was getting freaked out like i had a super stealth hermit or something.. lol.. or one that killed one of mine and took his shell. :lol: So what happens when they outgrow their shell?.. or can they in an aquarium?

You need to provide them lots of empty shells all different sizes. Without a variety of shells to choose from they will take shells from other crabs.

crap.. ok.. thanx, suppose ill hafta track some down in a month.

So Hermit CRAP Wierdness eh? :P

lol, yah, to me it was :lol:

They will also kill snails and steal thier shells.

Where can one get just shells?
