While hermit crabs are popular pets,
few people have seen them outside the shell. Even more rarely you can see one
actually getting in. We were lucky to catch our crab in the act. See it for yourself...

  • Umm..wheres its water dish, salt water dish, and food dish? And maybe u should buy another hermit crab so he can have a friend. Plus that cage is too small and doesnt hold the right amount of humdity it needs. Plus more extra shells whould be great..

    His real place is much bigger and has all of the above, we just moved him away from other crabs so he can have some privacy getting a new shell. His friend grab is also there, and one reason we moved him was to prevent him from harassment

    until he gets into his new shell.

  • He did it himself - maybe he needed to pee :-)))

  • you no you need 2 hermit crabs or they get sad!

  • @annaliese222

    We had two crabs, we just moved this guy into separate box so he can

    get into a new shell without being bullied by the other guy, who is bigger and

    meaner.
