Our Story Begins...
... when I was a child. I was allowed to have hermit crabs and started taking them in from people who did no want to care for them anymore. They lived in a 10 gallon tank with a screen lid and shallow dirt. I changed their food and water daily, and was proud to be their caretaker. But slowly over time, they passed away. At the time, I had no idea that the conditions I was keeping them in were actually detrimental to their health. Years later, my family and I got crabs again, and with the help of the internet, I very slowly started to learn what they needed to thrive and not just survive. I spent a lot of time (and money) trying to perfect their setup and figure out what they needed to live past a few months. With the help of a hermit crab group on Facebook that I now administrate, I have been successfully keeping hermit crabs alive for years now. Seeing how often these animals get dumped and rehomed due to people not understanding how to properly take care of them is what sparked my desire to start a rescue. They are far more intelligent that they are given credit for, and each have their own unique personalities. My goal is to help spread proper information and help these animals get the care they deserve
