That was so cool! Our first shell change!

Post by appps »

Our newly moulted crab was just spotted by hubby changing shells so we all snuck in for a peek and sure enough she decided she didn't like the fit and changed back! So quick but so cool to see!

My nine yr old who's crab it is tells me she will never be able to get to sleep now because she is so excited lol

Need to track down some more shells though, I've had trouble finding ones that aren't too big. Have exhausted all avenues locally so need to find Aussie online suppliers

I've only see one of my crabs change shells and yes, it is very cool isn't it! I'm amazed how they shimmy out.
