What happens when your mom goes to Hawaii and insists on bringing your hermit crabs back some seashells? I put them the new shells in the tank and they went absolutely wild! Check out what happens and see the whole process of a hermit crab switching shells. There may or may not be a scuffle over one of the coveted new homes...
It's best to not take seashells from the beach, as they can be homes for hermit crabs and if you don't believe me, watch our video "Craziest Animal Rescue Story Ever". Instead, my mom bought them from a souvenir shop, mailed them to me, and they were a hit.
It's important to give your hermit crabs a "shell shop" with lots of shells to choose from, as they need larger shells as they grow and molt. Turbo snail shells seem to be a favorite and you can order the from sites such as Etsy.
