Overview

Hermit crabs are social, surprisingly active pets that thrive when their environment supports climbing, digging and safe molting. This handbook gives beginners a clear, friendly introduction to building a stable crabitat and understanding the daily needs of both land hermit crab species commonly kept as companions. You'll learn the basics of creating deep sand for burrowing, how to set up freshwater and saltwater pools and how humidity and warmth shape your crabs' comfort and activity levels. The book explains shell changes, what a safe ""shell shop"" looks like and the signs that a crab is preparing to molt. Feeding chapters outline balanced diets built around varied whole foods and simple routines that support long-term health. You'll also find guidance on group living, enrichment ideas, gentle handling etiquette and the small observational habits that help you notice early shifts in behavior or condition. Whether you're building your first crabitat or improving one you already have, this handbook offers a reliable, beginner-friendly foundation for keeping hermit crabs active, curious and secure.
