So I got the crabbies new shells. Only I think they're a little big...or a little heavy. I didn't have that new aquarium set up and the shells in there and the crabs in there 3 minutes before Xelloss zipped out of his shell and into the fruitiest new one.

My fault for calling him Xelloss. =\

Only...it really is too big for him. And too heavy. And he's struggling to move in it and he keeps flipping onto his back and getting stuck that way for a full two minutes before FINALLY getting flipped back over...but yet he won't switch back to the old shell. Yet. Hopefully the stubborn little fool will get sick of not being able to crawl and get back in the old shell, which is LYING RIGHT THERE, so GET BACK IN IT, MISTER!

*sigh*

Why do I always get the stubborn pets?

That's kinda cute, but I think I know why he's not going back into his other shell. It's probably just too small. Try finding something a little bigger than the old one, but still smaller than the new one. Or at least one with less density. If you have to, make the new one you buy look really fruity ;-) *giggles* Xellos is great.

Yeah, I figured it was a size issue. *sigh* But he'll have to wait until I can *find* him a lighter shell. All the crabbie kiosks seem to be drying up. =\

There's always the beach, though I'm not sure how many small conch shells you're going to find there.

XD Thistle, your crab-obsession tickles me.

Sushi changed shells no less than 3 times the very first day I got him, we watched him do it once, that's suppose to be a rare sight :) And he never went back to the perfect good shell he had in the first place *shakes head*
