Zoo Med Hermit Crab Growth Shell Assorted Medium 2 Count

Zoo Med Hermit Crab Growth Shells are carefully crafted to provide hermit crabs with the natural and functional homes they need as they grow. Since hermit crabs cannot create their own shells, they rely on available empty shells for protection. As they mature, their old shells eventually become too small or uncomfortable, making it essential to have larger options readily available. The Zoo Med Hermit Crab Shells, offered in assorted medium sizes, serve this exact purpose by ensuring your pets have secure and roomy alternatives during their different growth stages.

These shells are fish tank aquarium supplies and designed with wide openings that allow hermit crabs to completely retract inside, replicating the same protective behavior they exhibit in the wild. This feature is crucial for their overall health and safety, as it helps shield their soft, delicate abdomens from harm and reduces stress by giving them a safe space to retreat.While Zoo Med produces a variety of decorative shells that add visual appeal to crab enclosures, the Hermit Crab Growth Shells are created with practicality as the primary focus. Their main role is to ensure proper fit, functionality, and protection, which are vital for your crabs’ long-term development.

By placing multiple shell options within the tank, you allow your hermit crabs to choose the one that suits them best, which reduces competition and promotes a healthier environment.

• Do not use damaged or broken shells as they can harm the crab.
• Ensure shells are cleaned before adding them to the habitat.
• Avoid shells with sharp edges that could injure hermit crabs.
• Monitor to ensure crabs are not competing aggressively for shells.
• Keep shells out of reach of other pets that may damage them.

• Always keep multiple shells in the hermit crab enclosure.
• Ensure shells are larger than the crab's current shell.
• Provide shells in clean condition to prevent infection.
• Replace shells regularly to accommodate hermit crab growth.
• Monitor hermit crabs to ensure they are using the shells properly.
