i have a moulter.....i think

Post by Jaci »

ok, my littlest crab has been digging constantly. this morning i found him checking out another shell and then digging behind it. but he's chosen a shell that is 2 times too big. i have 3 crabs, all with conch shells, and they are like stairs in their shell size. one is 2.5-3 inches long, another is 2 inches long and then i have lemi, who's shell is 1 inch long. the shell that lemi has picked is the one i had picked for my 2 inch crab. should i leave that shell in there and let him move in, or get a shell, same size as my 2 inch crab's and replace it?
