HERMIT CRAB PETS

Hermit Crabs, Habitats and Happiness tagline for hermitcrabpets

Hermit crab pets are curious, active, and low-maintenance and bring elements of nature and the ocean environment into our homes. Provide a healthy habitat, and your hermit crab pets will grow and thrive for many years. It’s very common for hermit crab pets to live longer than dogs!

My goal is to inspire healthier, happier Hermit Crab Habitats for longer-living hermit crab pets!

Fred the hermit crab at hermitcrabpets.com

Hi, I’m Chris but this blog is all about FRED! Actually, all my hermit crabs are named Fred. I’ve had hermit crabs since I was 5, saved countless hermies from gift shop death cages for a few decades, and I build cool habitats for them to thrive. I’m a small business owner with very little free time, and hermit crabs (plus a koi pond out back) are perfect pets for me. Can you relate? Got a question? Email me: info@hermitcrabpets.com

I love sharing solutions and tips to help make Hermit Crab Habitats (Crabitats) HEALTHIER, MORE ATTRACTIVE AND SMARTER… so these fantastic little creatures can live long, happy lives. Please don’t take hermit crabs from the wild! Help save lives by adopting them from overcrowded gift shop and crude pet store conditions where they can’t molt and won’t survive for long.
