I noticed a little red legged hermit that had squeezed its way between two snails that where stuck together and I assumed the crab was cleaning their shells....I guess not! because now, I have two empty snail shells! My guess is the hermit ate the two snails? Is that possible?? The size of the hermit compared to just one of the snails would be a variable feast! I can't believe it would have eaten two of them, if any? Any ideas?
Hermits will absolutely eat snails if they don't have enough food. They will also kill snails, eat them and take their shells if there are no shells or them to move into when they molt and get too big for their current shell.
