First Shell Change and possible molt!

Post by BabyDabbleMLP »

One of the Hermies changed his shell today! Into a pretty green shell we bought in a seashell basket at wal-mart(lol) and the little hermie that I can't ID keeps burrying (sp?) himself pretty deep into the sand so I think he might molt! EEEE! I don't have any money to buy extra sand though for an iso area... do you think he'll be ok? I mean the other 3 hermies are really sweet and they normally don't bother eachother at all.

He should be fine, but if you really want to, you can fence off the area the crab has dug into or separate the others from him.

I would fence him off... but he's hidden himself pretty well... and this morning I found Gimp(my hermie with a missing leg) burried too, and he's the one who switched shells!
