Hermit Crab Rehoming and Adoption Resources
Adoption / Rehoming
It is important to advocate for adopting, not shopping. When we buy a hermit crab from a pet store or beach shop, we are funding the cruel pet trade and perpetuating it, since those hermit crabs bought will just be replaced. Adopting is a great way to rescue hermit crabs in need of homes, without putting money into the pockets of the industry. The goal is to keep wild crabs wild- and there is no supply if no demand!
Make sure to join the Facebook groups. Follow their rules and post accordingly about your situation! If you are rehoming, make sure you are giving them to a good home where they will receive proper care.

Donate Shells to Wild Hermit Crabs!
Many shells in the wild are taken by unknowing tourists as a souviener, leaving the wild hermit crabs with limited options and resorting to trash as a make-shift shell. Without proper shells and protection, hermit crabs can unfortuanely die. Consider donating any extra shells you have to the wild hermit crabs with the addresses below :)
