Hi, I was wondering where you guys bought your shells for your dwarf hermit crabs.

All the shells I ever seem to find are too big for my guys or they're for Coenobita hermit crabs, not marine ones.

I think my dwarf hermit crabs are starting to get agitated because they need new shells.
 
I see your not far from a river. Shows your location on here. I can suggest to go look for freshwater snail shells and bleach/rinse them.

just a dip in bleach water then rinse in rodi water right?
 
I was going to say I got all my extra shells from my hermits killing my snails.... lol but I did receive a few extras when I ordered my cleaners from reefcleaners.
