    Default Hermit Crab Shells

    If you remind me the night before the meeting then come along to the meeting and help yourself to some freebies.

    i just put snails in my tank because i was sick of the hermit crabs pulling them out of the shells,the only ones they left alone were the very large turbos which were about one and half ins across.putting in a selection of shells will help but they will still pull them out.the very small blue hermit crabs should not pose a threat to the turbos.derek
