Hermit Crab Landing Adoption & Rescue

We are a small home based hermit crab rescue out of SE Michigan and nearby area's providing shelter and new forever homes to many hermits in need. We carefully screen each person that wishes to adopt to make sure the crab(s) will be placed in the best homes possible with the correct crabitat conditions. We accept donations but are a small not for profit rescue and all of the costs to operate this rescue comes out of our own pockets.

We charge a small adoption fee and include information, food and 24/7 help to those who adopt from us.

All of our rescued crabs are healthy, active and transitioned into captivity and have natural shells. All crabs have molted 1-2 times before they are adopted.

Adoptions, Public Education

Adopters MUST have proper knowledge of hermit crab care
Adopters MUST have a large enough habitat to house crabs they wish to adopt
Adopters MUST have at minimum (1 year) experience with hermit crabs
Adopters MUST have the proper supplies needed to care for their crabs
Adopters MUST not have more than the required amounts of crabs per gallon

All the crabs we rescue come from neglect situations and are brought back to health in the time they are with us and we only want to find them the very best homes were they will live a happy healthy life. They are offered a fresh and dry diet with only the best ingredients, offered the highest quality shells, and optimal environment before they are put up for adoption.

We may request to speak with you and chat about your experience and current crabs before we consider placing any of our crabs for adoption, and well as requesting pictures and list of supplies you use. We only do this to make sure you know what your are doing, and we also offer advice to those who have had the wrong information about crabs to get you on the right track. We only do this out of the kindness of our hearts!
