Land hermit crabs — Land hermit crab A–Z
Land hermit crabs are long-lived, nocturnal scavengers that need a warm, humid 'crabarium' with deep substrate to burrow in, both fresh and salt water pools, and a supply of spare shells to change into as they grow. They are social display pets rather than handling pets, and most premature deaths trace back to air that is too dry, substrate that is too shallow, or a crab being dug up during its weeks-long underground molt. Compare temperament and care needs, then find the breed that fits your home.
