Wanderin' WeetaWhen the time comes to mate, a male hermit crab grabs a female by the edge of her shell. He carries her around for days until she taps him, signalling she's ready.

Wanderin' WeetaHermit crabs often share their shells with smaller critters. A two-tentacled worm lives with this Hairy hermit; it waves its tentacles out of a hole at the rear of the shell. A mobile base gives the worm access to more food. Does it tickle? The hermit doesn't seem to mind. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VancouverIsland</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/HermitCrabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HermitCrabs</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/IntertidalInvertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IntertidalInvertebrates</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Invertebrates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Invertebrates</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/MarineLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarineLife</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/DailyHermit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DailyHermit</a>

Wanderin' WeetaSwitching shells is a complicated procedure for a hermit crab, whether after a molt or when the present shell is proving uncomfortable. The new shell must be carefully checked inside and out, rolled over, weighed.

Wanderin' WeetaA hermit crab out of his borrowed shell is extremely vulnerable to predation.
