Australian Land Hermit Crab Care

Hermit crabs are advertised as cheap and easy to maintain, which is not necessarily true. You are trying to offer everything a tropical land hermit crab needs while in captivity, the essentials they cannot live without. Please read my article “Are You Ready for a Land Hermit Crab” before you start. It is a comprehensive overview of land hermit crab care information.

Do you love land hermit crabs? Me too! I wrote a children’s book about land hermit crabs that are taken from a beach in Broome, Western. Australia. You can click here to order the author copy hardcover book which will be signed by Vanessa or buy the paperback via Amazon AUS or hardcover via Amazon UK.

Help me raise awareness of these amazing little creatures by telling your teacher or librarian about Crabnapped and this website. There are some lesson plans available for free!
