Well at least the crab decided on a shell-ter, of sorts! I must say that that is indeed a crazy choice in a shelter, but whatever works right?:-) My youngest started off with a hermit crab. It outgrew it's shell, crawled out, looked around at the various shells we had out for it and decided they were absolutely not good enough. It crawled into a corner and refused to move. It died within a few hours. Same thing basically happened with the next one. No matter how much we tried to coax it into a shell it wouldn't have anything to do with the 10 different shells we had in the cage. It choose the 11th shell that was 4 times bigger than it's size to try as it's new home. The workers at the pet store told us that hermit crabs tend to be very picky and will do that. I just shake my head in disbelief that the survivial instinct did not kick in. |
