When my crab Xavi changes shells, he checks one out for like 3 hours then changes

[krabby_katie]

That's what she used to do. She inspected that shell for about a half hour. Then I saw her coming out of her shell a little, so I knew she was going to.

I watched Bebe and Wendy both do the same thing! I have 3 girls and 4 boys, just for reference. Both of them, at separate times, rolled a shell into one of their huts and changed in private, away from the boys lol. It was so funny!

Haha, awww. That's so cute.

I love shell changes. They're so interesting! I've only seen two, but I consider myself lucky even for that.

You could try, very very carefully, to clip the shell with cuticle clippers until he can get out. See http://crabstreetjournal.com/xoops/modu ... storyid=66 for details from someone else having to do the same thing.
