Hermit crabs are extraordinary little creatures, and fascinating pets. Many people don't realize how absolutely wonderful these little beings can be. But we do. We are Hermit Crab Cottage and we fully acknowledge how amazing hermit crabs are. Some would call us 'hermit crab crazy' or 'hermit crab addicts', but in all reality we are very simply 'hermit crab lovers'.
