Growth shells

Post by HermieMom7610 » Fri Oct 27, 2023 9:57 am

I have two hermit crabs who are in need of bigger shells, and I’m not certain where to find them. I’ve tried a few places online but they end up being way too big. Current shells are murex which they prefer with a 1 inch opening. Can anyone point me in the right direction for purchasing and perhaps what size(s) I should aim for?

Have you checked out Naples Sea Shells? Or RIchard's Sea Shells?

Murex tend to be extremely tight fitting for their opening size, so a one inch opening turbo would be roomy by comparison. I wouldn't go much bigger than that, 1 & 1/16 or 1 & 1/8.
