Where to buy extra shells for my blue leg hermits? jen_designs 03-12-2005

I bought a dozen small blue leg hermits to help keep my aquarium clean.
They are rather small. As soon as I put them in the tank, they
rummaged thru the shells on the bottom and changed houses.

Do I need to provide extra home for the hermits, so as they grow they
can have nicer spacious homes? If so, where can I buy extra shells?

Thanks

Jen

The answer is yes, hermits should be provided with new homes to grow
into. Hermits are always on the lookout for a better house. A decent
LFS should have a supply of shells of various sizes. Make sure the
shells you buy have not been painted or treated like the ones they
sell for terrestrial hermits.

Hi Jen! I have found the best crab shells are from a seller on Ebay. His
seller name on Ebay is mikestert. Great prices and has a huge variety to
pick from. Good-Luck.

I bought mine at Michaels craft store.
