Exercise

   Hermit crabs need places to climb on in order to use up energy, and to keep their muscles in well working order. The more to explore with, the more the fun!

Exercise also helps when it comes time for molting.

Examples of climbing equipment:

 Chola wood, coral, shells, artificial plants, treated or coated wire caging, driftwood, hermie huts made from coconut, half logs, and other hermit crab “toys” are examples of hermit crab excercise equipment that are both good for your crab, and also fun to decorate with. This makes for a very healthy and happy crab.
