Hermit Crabs Are

Social

Contrary to their name, they love being with others and love the attention they get from owners

Active

They love to climb and burrow. While more active at night, they always seem to be busy 

Hungry

These little guys just love a variety of foods. Ours is especially fond of coconut.

Entertaining

Whether it’s climbing or changing their shells, they are always up to something.

Fighters

If both crabs want one shell, a fierce competition can ensure for rights to the prime shell

Crustaceans

While they are considered crabs, scientifically they more closely related to squat lobsters.
