What does it mean when your crab has lost a couple of legs over night?
It is ok for your hermit crab to lose only one leg in a certain amount of time but if your crab is losing more than one leg a nite put them in an isolated tank because there is a chance your crab may be dying.
Put some raw chicken or streaky bacon into the small net. Lower the net and weight into the water right to the bottom at a location you suspect there are crabs. Hold onto the other end of the line. Occasionally wind in the line and to slowly lift the net from the water, then check if any crabs are hanging on to the net for dear life! If they are then whack them in a bucket of the water the came from. If not, then return the net to the bottom of the water and wait a while longer.... Enjoy your crabbing!

Is a painted shell or a natural shell better for a hermit crab?
A natural shell!!!!
Painted shells--
*will chip and eventually look terrible.
*can cause the hermit crab to get sick or even die- the paint has chemicals in it, and when it chips, the paint can fall into their food or water, and the crab will eat it- not a good idea!
*are much less expensive than regular shells
*provide a bad home to the crab
Please-- Get a natural shell. Your crab (and your wallet!) will thank you.
