@@surveytestmoney2550uhh i think this was more referring to the overabundance of plastics and deficit of natural shells (which are probably sitting in gift shops). they aren't calling us amateurs, they're calling us colonizers as they had home security for thousands of years and NOW have to live in plastic crap
@surveytestmoney2550 Actually, this shell update is fairly recent as the amount of plastic in the ocean increases. The only reason hermit crabs are resorting to trash is because they’re pushed to desperation, not because it’s mere instinct to prefer trash. It is true that humans need housing as well of course.
I love the fact that so many of the crabs do not HESITATE to upgrade! Like they understand their house is trash and don't blink twice at the upgrade lol
I doubt they did. In a video about giving hermit crabs powerful shells by a UA-camr, some of the crabs refused to upgrade. Edit: through this argument I have learned these shells were too heavy. Also, this “war” still shows up in my notifications. Please calm down. Edit 2: Jesus loves you, have an amazing day!
Sad how? I didn't see any evidence of the crabs being hurt by their plastic 'home'. If anything, other animals have evolved to crack those shells - not so for the plastic.
Hermit crabs also form lines and then switch with each other: Multiple hermit crabs will wait around a shell that's too big for all of them and once a big enough hermit crab comes along they will form a line and sort themselves biggest to smalles. Once the biggest hermit crab changes into the big shell the next one in line will change into the now discarded shell and so on. They do it really quickly because they are very vulnerable without their shell. It's really amazing how clever they are.
It’s so sad when one skips the line and another finds the shell it left is already taken so now it has to pick the last one left which is worse than the one it arrived in. You can sense the disappointment in them when you see it.
Ur not the crab. U say suitable place to live. Lol. Maybe u'd rather live in plastic as opposed to a nature made home. Plastic 😢 is bad for everything breathing! 😊

I find it interesting how these hermit crabs still found a way to survive. I know its much less than ideal, especially with how quick they were to get a new real shell, but they were intelligent enough to identify a thing that was not a shell but could still be used as one.

I love hermit crabs. I used to have several i loved buying them new homes. When all the old homes were outgrown I took them to the beach for wild hermit crabs. It breaks my heart to see them using plastic. I love that youre doing this
@@Rat_with_a_sax I mean, things like snails and such hatch with shells. Also, hermit crabs aren't born from a womb like mammals. The female holds the eggs along her abdomen until they're ready to hatch. It's honestly a much more easily made leap in logic to believe they're born with shells than not given many other species.
@@oliviastar3812He does not collect the shells from the beach! You can buy bags of shells at pet stores as aquarium decor, and at hobby stores to use in craft projects. This man is dedicated to the cause and his videos are being seen by people who also send him their collections. There's the logic you likely were not aware of... hopefully it helps others too. 😉🥰
In the life of a crab I would think the chance of having someone step on their little house and break it is really slim. Absorbing chemicals and toxins from degrading plastic is likely not good for the soft abdominal section that is in contact with plastic. The benefits of a "natural home" seem to outweigh the risks you described.😉
Dios te bendiga por tan hermosa misericordia para Lis animalitos de verdad que corazón ♥️ tan hermoso gracias ayudemos cuando callamos por donde callamos recojamos los plásticos y todo lo que le haga daño a estos animales o cualquier otro tengamos misericordia y lo que sembramos cosechamos ❤❤❤❤
As a former hermit crab owner, I love seeing the love and appreciation you have for these guys. It’s really sad seeing them having to use plastic bc they can’t find shells. 🐚 I once saw one online that was using a doll head. Now that one was pretty cool looking, although not practical for the crab! 🦀 ❤
As a hermit crab owner, I love this. Hermits don't live long and I actually rescue them from beach vendors where they are mistreated with improper nourishment and painted shells. All the crabs I've raised have lived over 2 years which is uncommon for beach vendor crabs which only live a few days to a couple weeks and even a couple weeks is rare. I admire this guy for doing this as hermits, although small, are mighty.
You can’t keep adopting dogs from puppy mills, they just get the profit and now you’ve made a new empty space for the vendor to grab another animal to replace the one bought
Refuse vendors, report them. And warn tourists and parents the risk of this, you are equaling the issue by supporting the people who do this by directly getting your crabs from them
Ohhhhhhh that's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my whole entire life😢🤗. You are so loving, sweet and caring🥰. You are truly heaven send to these queue little hermit crabs. You melted my Heart with your actions. I want to do the same and help them too.. That is so selfless & altruistic of you. You have such a depth of human kindness, and it so rare today. You are my soul mate for sure lol. Those hermit crabs look so happy getting a brand new, comfortable and familiar home that their familiar with.

You are a SUPER HERO! Thank you for letting us know of your work ánd the need hermit crabs have. Wow¡!! I never knew wow!! Thank you again❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for helping these little Hermit Crabs and making the people aware of the shell collection to leave the shells alone for the little Hermit Crab 🦀.
I love how structured hermit crabs are. If a group of them finds a shell, the one who fits into it will take it, and the rest of the crabs pass around the empty shell until they all find the right one for them.
Fun fact, some hermit and decorator crabs use plastic shells to blend in with their environment. Sad world we live in 😭 I'm glad you're giving them other options. If I lived by the ocean, I'd love doing this too :) hope those little guys enjoy their new homes and cycle them around for future crabs
For those questioning where he's getting his shells, in the longer version of this video he explains that he uses donated tapestry shells from organizations and people who want to support his project.
This is soooooo important! I don't think enough people understand that the pretty shells you pick up off the beach could be a potential home and life saver for these little guys! All creatures are important!
Its so rare to catch them switching!! Ive been taking care of these little dudes for 5 years now and ive only seen them switch once! They only do it when they feel really, really safe and usually itll be at night or something.
We have the same problems here in Puerto Rico & this beautyful SOUL of a man just gave me a great idea. Thank you so much for the info my mi friend. Blessings to you and your family always from Puerto Rico with lot's of love 🙏👍❤️
I grew up loving hermet crabs. I have heard little of them since. THANK you for your simple but life saving acts to help them. God Bless you in your journey. I'll remember to leave a few shells like those on the beach.
This is really important too! Dont take full shells from the beach! I know their pretty! But they are homes for animals. If you keep looking, there will often shells with large holes in them or broken shards that still have beautiful designs and textures that are useless to these animals, so they're okay to take. They often just get recycled back into the ocean so of course dont take too many or all the time but if you find a nice one that obviously is unsuitable for any crab or animal that may use it than thats much better!

I mean, things like snails and such hatch with shells. Also, hermit crabs aren't born from a womb like mammals. The female holds the eggs along her abdomen until they're ready to hatch. It's honestly a much more easily made leap in logic to believe they're born with shells than not given many other species.
@ElysetheEevee absolutely fascinating. I love learning absolutely these little wonderful living things:)
@@Rat_with_a_saxdon't you feel silly now for that passive aggressive, unnecessary comment?
@@lbcrypto5309totally agree, I never knew that either and I spent most of my life on a beach.
@@ElysetheEeveethank you for this information. It's really interesting!
The plastic is probably stronger. Amd carving the shell makes it much weaker. Gives it breaking points (like scoring something)
not to mention he's actually collecting shells from the beach too! albeit to then give them back - so where's the logic?
@@oliviastar3812He does not collect the shells from the beach! You can buy bags of shells at pet stores as aquarium decor, and at hobby stores to use in craft projects. This man is dedicated to the cause and his videos are being seen by people who also send him their collections. There's the logic you likely were not aware of... hopefully it helps others too. 😉🥰
In the life of a crab I would think the chance of having someone step on their little house and break it is really slim. Absorbing chemicals and toxins from degrading plastic is likely not good for the soft abdominal section that is in contact with plastic. The benefits of a "natural home" seem to outweigh the risks you described.😉
you didn't pay attention in science class.
lol
Dios te bendiga por tan hermosa misericordia para Lis animalitos de verdad que corazón ♥️ tan hermoso gracias ayudemos cuando callamos por donde callamos recojamos los plásticos y todo lo que le haga daño a estos animales o cualquier otro tengamos misericordia y lo que sembramos cosechamos ❤❤❤❤
You are so right! I pick up plastic as often as I can
Thank you sir, you are very kind and compassionate.❤
Bro complimenting the crabs shell is such a vibe
You are a great guy making sure all little critters have homes they carry. God Bless you for helping them ❤❤

This is by far one of the most beautiful and sensible things i have seen .thank you and please dont stop doing these things ❤
As a former hermit crab owner, I love seeing the love and appreciation you have for these guys. It’s really sad seeing them having to use plastic bc they can’t find shells. 🐚 I once saw one online that was using a doll head. Now that one was pretty cool looking, although not practical for the crab! 🦀 ❤
As a hermit crab owner, I love this. Hermits don't live long and I actually rescue them from beach vendors where they are mistreated with improper nourishment and painted shells. All the crabs I've raised have lived over 2 years which is uncommon for beach vendor crabs which only live a few days to a couple weeks and even a couple weeks is rare. I admire this guy for doing this as hermits, although small, are mighty.
😢
Thank u so much for giving those little guys a good home!!!❤️💔 it’s so disappointing that vendors are still allowed to do that
As amazing as this is, you are contributing to the reason they are sold :( if you keep getting crabs from the vendors you are equal to them.
You can’t keep adopting dogs from puppy mills, they just get the profit and now you’ve made a new empty space for the vendor to grab another animal to replace the one bought
Refuse vendors, report them. And warn tourists and parents the risk of this, you are equaling the issue by supporting the people who do this by directly getting your crabs from them
What a nice story and a conservation
dream that every person should learn.
You are an amazing man ….Thank You for your kindness and devotion

Ohhhhhhh that's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my whole entire life😢🤗. You are so loving, sweet and caring🥰.
You are truly heaven send to these queue little hermit crabs.
You melted my Heart with your actions. I want to do the same and help them too.. That is so selfless & altruistic
of you. You have such a depth of human kindness, and it so rare today. You are my soul mate for sure lol. Those hermit crabs look so happy getting a brand new, comfortable and familiar home that their familiar with. Watching them making shelter from left over garbage in the Sea REALLY PISSES ME OFF😤😡😠. Life is unfair even for those little guys.
Thank you, Thank You, Thank you for what your doing. You are a SUPER HERO! Thank you for letting us know of your work ánd the need hermit crabs have. Wow¡!! I never knew wow!!
Thank you again❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bight-side : Helping the Homless
Dark side: people are gonna collect the shells now .
People have collected shells since forever.
Spreading love in this world. Thank you
Thank you for helping these little Hermit Crabs and making the people aware of the shell collection to leave the shells alone for the little Hermit Crab 🦀.
Instead of showing your support to thedodo who stole the video, you should go to the original creator and say thanks.
Ppl also need to know better than to get pet hermit crabs
I raised a couple of these. They’re really sweet. Broke my heart.
One of the most touching stories I've seen on UA-cam! Creative, enduring, wonderful human being!
I love how structured hermit crabs are. If a group of them finds a shell, the one who fits into it will take it, and the rest of the crabs pass around the empty shell until they all find the right one for them.
Cool community dynamic
Bros house was lighter and stronger and he was about to evolve due to redirected resources causing bros brain to grow
seems like they’re actually fine when this nerd captures them
beautiful. Inspiring Man!
This is sooo thoughtful and sweet! ❤🥰
Everyone deserves a decent home. Even the sweet little crabs. 🦀 🐚
Yes! It really is
YOU are an awesome person 💗😊 thank you for doing this for the Crabs.😊❤
This man is truly amazing and kindhearted
Fun fact, some hermit and decorator crabs use plastic shells to blend in with their environment. Sad world we live in 😭 I'm glad you're giving them other options. If I lived by the ocean, I'd love doing this too :) hope those little guys enjoy their new homes and cycle them around for future crabs
Blending in with their environment as in blending in with the trash that has became part of their habitat, for context
may sound weird but thats weirdly cool
that has to be cap bro theres no way yall litter on the beach like just wrong
@@tabbyy_yy ? How would hermit crabs using plastic be cap 😭 have you been to a beach ever, they’re full of it
@@toadacrosstheroad ive been on beaches many times and ive never seen plastic wdym?? do younlive in nigeria or something bro
But you have GOT to give the hermit crabs credit for evolving to adapt to their current environment.
For those questioning where he's getting his shells, in the longer version of this video he explains that he uses donated tapestry shells from organizations and people who want to support his project.
Someone stole a comment lol
Your support for the underrated, yet extremely important hermit crab is beautiful. You're the only person I see doing this.❤
It's so nice that they get to make their own fashion choice ☺️
Okay but the fact that he cares about something so small when usually people would overlook it. This is so pure ❤
Bro casually gave him a new home💀💀
If Mr. Crabs used his wealth to start a Mr. Beast channel 🦀💵

This is soooooo important! I don't think enough people understand that the pretty shells you pick up off the beach could be a potential home and life saver for these little guys! All creatures are important!
Its so rare to catch them switching!! Ive been taking care of these little dudes for 5 years now and ive only seen them switch once! They only do it when they feel really, really safe and usually itll be at night or something.
We have the same problems here in Puerto Rico & this beautyful SOUL of a man just gave me a great idea. Thank you so much for the info my mi friend. Blessings to you and your family always from Puerto Rico with lot's of love 🙏👍❤️
Thats the bro from crab souls
I grew up loving hermet crabs. I have heard little of them since. THANK you for your simple but life saving acts to help them. God Bless you in your journey. I'll remember to leave a few shells like those on the beach.
This is really important too! Dont take full shells from the beach! I know their pretty! But they are homes for animals. If you keep looking, there will often shells with large holes in them or broken shards that still have beautiful designs and textures that are useless to these animals, so they're okay to take. They often just get recycled back into the ocean so of course dont take too many or all the time but if you find a nice one that obviously is unsuitable for any crab or animal that may use it than thats much better!
