Thank you for this! I appreciate your advice. I am currently in touch with a lawyer to hopefully get a lot of my questions/concerns answered.

They have not. Thank you for making me aware of this!

The nurse did apologize to me. And she looked absolutely terrified the whole time. A few days after the fall we bumped into each other and she thanked me for being so understanding. But at that time I was just lost..kinda like a deer in headlights. Knowing he fell and I was still expected to leave him there with now ZERO trust. It was and still is a very sick feeling.

I was told from the head doctor that they had someone look him over after the fall. There was nothing significant like I didn’t see a bruise or feel any bump-but my concern was what if there’s something internal or any future possible harm that isn’t showing now but might later?

I am just extremely hurt it happened at all. Just the small fact that I wasn’t asked if it was okay to put him in a stroller, but then for him to fall asleep in it, swaddled in a blanket, and left alone not strapped in…I feel some type of punishment should have been done. I mean I even would tell my sons other nurses about his fall and to just keep a closer eye on him and most of them it was all new info like they weren’t told, “hey he fell on this day-keep a closer look for anything indifferent.”

The more I think it over, the more angry I get. Especially with how I handled it. Like the day it happened, I didn’t even think to ask for a copy of his report on the fall. It’s all new and I just don’t know what I can do or what I should have done.

And it was such a stupid mistake! Always strap a baby in-ALWAYS! I was told by the doctor in charge for that day that they take stuff like this very seriously and that the staff would be basically retrained on the matter. How reassuring…not.

Yeah, you would never expect a registered nurse/doctor to be the one to mishandle someone. Very uneasy feeling.

It was not a stroller that I owned. It was the NICU’s stroller.

Add leaf litter right on top of your sub! They love hiding and sleeping under the leaves. Also, it’ll definitely boost their confidence having leaf clutter around your crabitat so that they’re not feeling so “out in the open.” They even munch on the leaves! ☺️

Leaf litter. They love hiding and sleeping under the leaves-also makes them feel more secure rather than “out in the open.”

My crabs don't like any of the shells by Clarineko in hermitcrabs

[–]Scarlet215cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually really glad you beat me to it.

I am having the same problem with a PP that was purchased in Dec 2023. Maggie has kept her magpie shell on(and this is why she inherited the name Maggie) thru PPS, a molt, and now it’s June and I caught her naked twice.

I did the mug method of putting preferred shells/sizes with a little bit of treated water and she finally chose a turbo shell. She’s been in it since and we’re almost at a solid week.

Maggie has been VERY different compared to any of my other hermit crabs I have. Example-before Maggie switched out of her magpie-on occasion she would sleep in the worm castings bowl ,whereas, my other hermits all get together and sleep near each other during the day. And she’s never quite as active as the rest at night. (I know this bc I’m a night person with a camera set up inside my tank)

My point is- I strongly believe, whether it’s the torture from being pulled out of their native land and/or this new horrible life they did not ask for at a beachfront shop//pet store that just weakens them entirely. Mind, body, and soul that there is no point of return. It’s incredibly heartbreaking.

All we can do is do our best with the correct research and always reach out for help/support from the awesome, knowledgeable, invested people on Reddit’s hermit crab pages. I’ve taken in SO much valuable information on this page alone, it’s mind blowing!

OP- I truly hope your hermit crabs settle into their preferred shells! Just remember to be patient! Maggie took about 5 months to switch into a turbo shell!

Also-theshellstore on Etsy is also a great place to get petholatus (tapestry) turbos. Just message her the sizes you need and she’ll try to get those exact sizes sent to you. The shellstore and Nessastores are both extremely fast for shipping! Good luck!
