When I added my hermit I also added about 100 different sized shells to the back of the tank so they had something to upgrade into. But this little guy had ideas above his station..:) a bit like moving into an 8 bed mansion when all you reall need is a 3 bed semi..PMSL..

I noticed another had rehomed himself but had taken a more sensible residence :)
 
Its really interesting to watch them going through the pile of shells trying to choose another one :) I watched one last night that tried on 3 or 4 before finally deciding on his no residence... all very cute indeed :) I'm Hooked!! aand yes I do need to get a life..lol
 
I have a lot of small shells collected from various excursions around the place, which I intend to boil specifically for the purpose you've mentioned
I wasn't sure if I could utilise the ones with the longish openings rather than the shells with roundish holes. But your hermits dont seem to mind.
How are they getting along with the snails

Hahaha, this has me in stitches laughing. I never knew hermit crabs did this! :) Lucky you didn't have massive shells in there!!!!
 
I know this isn't exactly a new thread, but I only just saw it! Poor little chap must have to work quite hard to haul that shell around!
