    I have 2 Equadorian hermit crabs that just won’t change shells. I am providing them with many shells, but they don’t change. They are WAY to big for their shells and I don’t want them to get stuck in their shells. Does anyone have some shells that their EEs have changed into? I need some shells for crabs that are like 1.5″-2″ in diameter. Can you please provide me with a link to some shells that an EE would like?

    E’s are notorious for holding on to their shells even when they don’t fit properly. I think it’s due to a lack of shells in their native region. You need to offer shells with a D shaped opening. Have you watched my video on shells?

    Yeah, I have many D shaped opening shells. I will watch your videos.
