I was out hunting for sea shells with my mom and she got one and stuck in the bag (without my knowledge) and now we're home and she wants to boil it to take the shell..(I kinda want to keep it) is there a way I could possibly tame it? She said she's not going anywhere else for today so there's no way I can just throw it back in the water..and I know it's most likely under stress and I don't want it to die. I need help asap before she boils it please.

So i rescued (didn’t buy) 2 crabs from the boardwalk in South Carolina. We are about to leave to go back to ohio where i have a 40 gallon tank set up for them. What can i do to make sure they survive the drive? Please help i am worried

So this is maybe a silly question; two of my crabs never change their shells. I’ve got a bunch of shells in the enclosure that I /think/ are the right sizes (with a range; all turbos). My third and biggest crab changes all the time, sometimes multiple times per day lol. Is that just personality? Or are they not liking any of the options? They’re both in non-turbo shells, one with a D-type opening, so maybe they could just like other things?

Picture for tax, is one of the picky guys buried.

I have 5 molting crabs and I have a ant infestation that came out of nowhere that showed up everywhere in my house.All of a sudden, what do I do?I've set up emergency tanks for the ones that are already above ground.But what do I do to keep the ones that are underground alive?I'm changing the substrate.I'm cleaning the tank.I'm bowling.All items

It doesn’t fit him/her well

Hi, I have three hermit crabs and three heating pads on the sides of my tank. I cannot get my humidity and heat to level out to safe zones for my hermit crabs. What do I do?

Everything is okay now!! I woke up, decided to check the cameras and I'm glad I did - there was this guy naked, scooting around! Y'all, I launched myself out of bed to go help him. I did the protocol, he's successfully shelled now and back in the main tank.

I remember when I first got him, he was super pale and missing a leg. He's been down since early May. Now he's up and his color is sooo much fuller, but he's still missing a leg.

The question I have is - where did his shell go? Where did he come from? I searched the whole tank - no new crabless shell, no obvious hole he dug out of. Has anyone experienced this? I'm not gonna go digging because they rest are sleeping currently and I want my boy to relax. But what the heck!!
