Adopt Or Surrender
A Hermit Crab in VIC, ACT OR TAS
If you can adopt, you should. Are you looking to invite a Hermit Crab to be a part of your life? By adopting, you are saving a Hermit Crab that needs a home, without supporting the horrendous Hermit Crab pet store trade that captures crabs from the wild and ships them to pet stores. We take on surrendered Hermit Crabs from owners who can no longer take care of them. We give them a loving home, nurse their health and rehome them to approved owners looking to adopt.
We take on rescues from Victoria, Canberra and Tasmania, Australia only.

Each rescue Hermit Crab is placed into their very own tank for isolation and monitoring purposes, our tanks are filled with substrate, deep pools, a hideout, plants, Happy Hermie foods and supplements. We hold onto each rescue for 4 weeks to nurse them back to condition before placing them up for adoption. We also happily accept donated items such as shells, decor etc. to help our current rescues in their rehabilitation.
