Re: will hermet crab take over empty snail shell
Yes, you should have a selection of empty shells for them, I have a Blue Legged Hermit and it swaps it shells a lot, I have a selection so there must be at least 1 that's good for it but it just seems to like moving house on a regular basis.

Re: will hermet crab take over empty snail shell
I should have added you really should have a selection of shells for them as they may start to fight, 1 crab may pass another crab who seems to have a better shell so he might fight him for it.

Re: will hermet crab take over empty snail shell
Suppose you could, better safe than sorry just to make sure nothing is in them before you put them in.

Re: will hermet crab take over empty snail shell
Yeah they do that, can be funny when it walks past each day with a new shell.
