Help naming new hermit crab
    #5606356 - 05/08/06 07:50 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

So I just got a new hermit crab companion for my other one. The original one is pretty big and named Professor Fanaticus. This next guy is approximately twice his size and just as healthy. What should I name him/her?

Agh! I like both names for different reasons. In an hour I will initiate a poll to vote on best crowd pleaser name. I'll let the people of the community decide!

Ok so I weeded out the names I definitely do not want to name it.  Here's the pole.  I will select a name tomorrow.  I like the name Crusher but it reminds me of a past hermit crab I named Crunchy.  He was a mean mofo.  People don't seem to find crabs menacing but a hermit crab wins a fight against a dog. :evil:

YES!!!

But on a serious note I had crabs once and after about a month they all started battling each other for their shells, I think thats why. There could only be one crab, all others limbs were strew about their swamp. True story, mayby you should put in some extra shells and hopefully they won't go to war.

I have a bunch of (around 50) hermit crabs living in the rock garden outside my house. Whenever I add new shells, the always fight over them, but never kill each other that I have seen. It is amazing to watch them swap out shells.

As for names, bplus or Ed come to mind.

Any decent-sized crab has a large, sturdy shell. A dog can not get through it and wouldn't think to. The best I've seen a dog do is flip the shell over. This puts the crab in his defensive position. In its defensive position the crab is holed up in his shell with the large pincher blocking the opening. The most a dog could do is flip the shell over again. When the dog sticks his face in the opening he is in for a nasty surprise!

New poll...

I'll upload pictures later on today.

How about Sensi?

I used to love my hermit crabs.....they were aquatic though. Was always neat when they would outgrow shells, molt and then pick a new home from the bottom of my reef tank :smile:
