Crabs....
 

Did that get your attention???

Has anyone ever had Hermit Crabs. We got my 4 year old 2 of them last night. They are fun to watch. But I honestly don't know much about them. Can anyone tell me anything? Also, they seem to have a funky a$$ smell --what is it? and can I get rid of the smell?

Thanks,
Wendi

They sell those at our mall LOL!

My friend had one back in the day when we were in Middle School. I was always afraid of them - thought they might pinch me with their claws and never let go.

Anyways, I can't help ya out on the smell or anything but they are usually sold with an instruction guide. I'd recommend looking up something about them on the internet like on ASK.com

Good Luck!

WHAT?


Crabs?

Well, if you cannot boil them and then enjoy with Garlic Butter then who needs them!

If Yu Have them, shave half of your Pubic Hair, set fire to the other half and stab them with an ice pick as they run from the flames or pucky smell!:p

You got my attention. I can't answer your questions about crabs.

Do you have experience this Tom?:D

w.

first i see the word crabs, then i see in the post 'funky a$$ smell'. what else could i think?

but i would have to agree that crabs are best with garlic butter and cocktail sauce

Oh, W, ye of little faith!

How about got them from my ex wife who got them from A Fraternity Brohter? Well, we were separated at the time!!

He and I are still Fraternity Brothers and she is still my EX!!!!!! :cool:

Man ice picks are sharp as hell!:eek:

Try a little cologne.. perfume for the girl crabs.

Maybe they need salt water or something....perhaps they are dehydrating / dessicating? Hence the smell??

They sell those in the mall too! I actually think they are kinda interesting.

Don't you have to give them bigger shells as they grow? I have seen ones with pink, teal, and orange painted shells. I thought they were really cool when I was kid. Now I definitely prefer furry pets though... I love big dogs.

i used to have hermit crabs when i was little...the first one(i think?) i forgot about for a month(no food, water, attention, nothing) then when i was cleaning my room i found it..oops :(

I have 5 of them and can tell you allllllll about them, i love them! They are really really cool pets! PM me and ask me any questions ya got!

I had given one to my 2nd KD lil sis during one of those "gift" days. She was more "goth" than "sororitychickie" so I thought it was a great gift for her. http://66.227.101.70/otn/happy/ylflower.gif

BTW, while searching for pet gifts, I found these VERY cool hermit crab shells:
