Thank you, State of Illinois!!!! This is a HUGE step in changing the horrific Hermit Crab Industry! This bill prohibits the sale of hermit crabs with painted shells!

Here’s a fun “behind the scenes” post!
We try and film in batches when Faith and Brooke are home from college. Our crab room becomes the film room and after a few videos are done, we are sitting in a mess of cords, chaos, and crabs!

Our CCS bred and raised captive bred Lilas are doing so good! They’re growing fast and are very healthy. These babies *should* be up for adoption this summer!

Just because a hermit crab lived in conditions that are less than we recommend, does not mean that it is healthy! Surviving is not thriving. It is important that as animal keepers, we give our animals the best care possible so that they can be healthy and thrive. Our care recommendations are up to date with scientific research and at home research from some of the most educated people on these topics. We highly recommend that you watch our videos and implement the advice we give! It’s all so that your hermit crabs can thrive in captivity.

Some footage from our most recent microscope investigation!
When breeding, we like to place our zoeae underneath our microscope to complete health checks, capture growth imaging, and examine the state of the growing zoeae up close! Aren’t they just the cutest?!

Reminder!! Hermit crabs do NEED heat and humidity! To do this, you will need a completely closed (I recommend glass) lid that can keep the humidity in. You will also need a heat mat that covers 3/4 to the entire back side of your tank above the substrate line! Most people we see who struggle with heat and humidity do not have the proper size heat mats or the right lids.
