Hermit Crab Pets Can Make YOU Healthier!

Hermit crab pet owners are some of the most caring and health-conscious people… about their hermit crab pets! 

But hermit crabs can make YOU healthier too!

Think about it. Hermit crab owners go to great lengths to take good care of their curious, odd little creatures. They provide healthy nutritious foods, fun crabitats filled with essential elements and fun stimulating activities. They monitor humidity and warmth parameters, and worry when their hermies seem to be  burrowed for too long!  Does this sound like YOU?

If you’re a hermit crab owner, chances are you’ve spent LOTS of time looking up what foods to feed your little hermies. You’ve searched the internet for ideas on what to put in your crabitat like branches and leaves. You know what’s good for them, and what’s bad for them. But do you spend this much time and energy on own health and well-being?

Choose healthier foods

Consider shifting any of your own personal bad habits a bit towards how you take care of your hermit crab pets. Would you feed your beloved hermies a pop tart for breakfast? Nope. But you WOULD feed them a little scrambled eggs and ham (which they will LOVE). 

By making a healthier choice for yourself, you are ALSO keeping your hermies healthy! Instead of heading for that McDonald’s Drive-Thru, choose to cook some chicken and vegetables! And if you don’t cook? Choose Chinese food over Burger King. Hermit crabs love special fried rice!  

Take more nature walks, go outdoors

Hermit crab pets LOVE stimulation. They get energized when they have new branches to climb, new places to explore, new ways to hide! Take the time to go outdoors more, in nature, for walks. It’s good for you AND it’s good for your hermit crabs! How? 

You can ALWAYS find cool new branches, leaves, rocks and other natural elements that you can bring back to your crabitat. 

Make a habit of changing out 1-2 branches, pieces of driftwood or rocks etc a few times per month NOT by buying them, but but going outdoors to find them yourself! Use your hermit crabs to visit nature more often, get outside and be more active. Be healthy and active, just as you want your hermit crabs to be!

Share! Are you on Instagram?

Instagram is a fantastic way of sharing good ideas with others. When you take your nature walks and find cool new crabitat things, or when you find new healthy foods your hermies loved… post them on Instagram!  Hermit crab pet owners are a caring type of people.
