A couple years ago, I was given a little hermit crab in a beautiful murex shell by a friend who was moving out of state. Classic story of a hermie bought on the coastal boardwalk for her young sons as a *pocket pet*. This poor little crab sat unmoving in his tank for 2 weeks. He had no heat and a soda pop cap full of tap water. I really wasn't understanding why sooooo many people got hermit crabs on the beach boardwalks. He didn't DO anything. I began researching hermit crabs and soon learned the information given to people for proper care of these fascinating critters, is completely WRONG. 😳 I found crabstreetjournal.org on a Google search. That led me to their FB group, Land Hermit Crab Owners Society. Sooooo much information on there! Once I sat up the proper tropical environment using LHCOS guidelines and began offering healthy foods, the newly named Sherman Crab came to life! Suddenly he was moving! Not just moving, but climbing and playing! Now I have over 500 gallons combined of crabitat and 42 land hermit crabs. They play on hampster wheels and climb everywhere. They *talk* to each other and sleep in cuddle packs. I have purple pinchers, ecuadorians and strawberries! I find myself watching my crabs sooooooo much more than the TV. Please check out the above mentioned website and FB group to find a wealth of information, great crabby friends and ideas for your own crabitat! ❤www.just2oldcrabs.com
