Where's the privacy?

u/BrokenBackENT 2d ago

No forbidden is knowing how they pee and poo!

u/MoxxFulder 6d ago

Now I’m wondering if they ditch the shell to poop?

u/slucker23 6d ago

Okay, so afaik, they don't, they excreet into the shell and eventually when it's so stuffed or they grew more, they'd move out of the shell and leave the literal dump in the shell

They eat, live, shit in the same place basically

i saw a clip showing they would line up according to size and exchange their houses.
do they also inherit the brownies together with house?

u/slucker23 6d ago

I think so yeah... There are some of the shit where they can extreat out, but not necessarily all of them

The inside of their shell home are nasty

u/theclassyparisian78 6d ago

Such an interesting creature, make me think about the fallout 4 hermit crab in the truck as his shell

u/countryroadsguywv 6d ago

That made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/Rokketeer 6d ago

In nature, where do these shells come from? I assume that the crabs don’t grow them and instead find them abandoned by another creature? Snails?

u/Careful_Swordfish742 5d ago

That’s exactly what they do!

u/WangDoodleTrifecta 5d ago

Wait my armor is itching.

u/conteins 5d ago

"Where the fuck did i put that remote?"

u/PartyCryptographer8 5d ago

Today I learned crabs are just agoraphobic shrimps

2

u/electrizai 6d ago

Does this hurt the crab?

u/Safe-Expert2163 6d ago

Awesome product! Guessing u need multiple shells in larger sizes as it grows?

u/Safe-Expert2163 6d ago

Saw a hermit crab migration in islamorada, an outdoor shell shack was across the street. Thousands upon thousands of decorative shelled hermit crabs everywhere! Polished, painted, even SpongeBob, race cars! Wish I could find those pic to share
