Listen in as we discuss these cute little decapods and how they find their homes, why they’re actually not crabs at all, and what we can do to help them out. Are hermit crabs never nudes? Do they exhibit impeccable social skills? Find out in this episode!

BIG TAKEAWAY: If you wouldn’t try to steal someone’s home, then please don’t take a hermit crab’s shell. Not only does removing shells destabilize the beach itself, but it leaves fewer home options for hermit crabs, takes vital elements from ocean ecosystems, and can force crabs to creatively use trash to survive. As they say: take only pictures, leave only footprints - the hermies will appreciate it 🐚
