Turbo shells are these : http://www.google.com/images?client=saf ... CD8QsAQwBQ
and you can buy a bunch at Crabbage Patch for a pretty decent price.

They are so pretty and natural looking are they natural. Are they natural just wondering i assume so but I want to be sure I want the best for them. They listen to me and seam interested when i sit next to then crocheting.

[.:HermitCrabs:.]

Oh yes, very natural. Try to avoid any decorated ones, though.
That doesn't happen too often. It's good to hear that you picked out some hermies that take interest in you.

Could you look at my albums and tell me what type of hermit crabs I have thank you if you can if not that is ok

[.:HermitCrabs:.]

The quality wasn't very good, but from what I can tell either Pink Indo or PP. Most likely PP, because it is the most popular species in the U.S.

It appears you have all PP’s which do prefer the turbo style shells:

How long have you had your hermies?

[sarah13]

I have had Houdini for almost 2 years he was a rescue and Purple was from a pet store I've had her for about a month

[sarah13]

Do you think she is missing some legs i'm looking at her now and i'm not too sure but i think so. Should I be worried if she is missing any legs and can I do anything to help her grow them back?
