Hermit crabs don’t make their own shells, they rely on empty ones left behind by sea snails. 🐚 The Nature Educator explains how sea snails spend their lives building spiral homes from calcium carbonate, expanding them layer by layer as they grow.

Shelling Momma on Instagram: "I’m here to tell you, it never hurts to try to offer a hermit crab a new shell. They may not like it but there’s always a possibility that they will love it!

Immediately, the crab moved over into the empty shell. Yay! 😍 - - #shellingmomma #hermitcrab #seashells"
