🦀 How To Help Your Hermit Crabs Change Their Shells 🐚✨#shorts

Hermit crabs are crustaceans, related to crabs, lobsters, and prawns. They are named for their habit of using other animals' shells for protection, carrying their shell on their back and swapping shells throughout their lives. 

Hermit crabs have many benefits, including:

Cleaning the ocean: Hermit crabs help keep the ocean clean by eating dead and decaying organisms. 

Returning nutrients to the ecosystem: Hermit crabs deposit nutrients back into the ocean through their waste, which other organisms can then use. 

Fishing bait: Hermit crabs can be used as fishing bait. 

Pets: Hermit crabs can be interesting and easy-care pets. They are active, curious, and have distinct personalities. 

Reef aquarium clean-up: Small hermit crabs can be added to reef aquariums to eat uneaten food and algae. 

Waste disposal: Hermit crabs can be used as living waste disposal systems. 

Here are some things to consider when keeping hermit crabs as pets:

Shells

Hermit crabs need larger shells as they grow, so you'll need to provide them with progressively larger shells. 

Molting

When a hermit crab is ready to molt, you should have a special isolation tank ready for it. 

Interactions

Hermit crabs can fight over shells, and you might hear them "chirping" if things escalate
