Hermit crabs traditionally use sea shells or discarded snail shells for shelter (Credit: Wikipedia.org/ Public Domain)

Most crabs have strong exoskeletons to protect them from predators. However, hermit crabs are born with soft bodies. They have usually lived inside sea shells or old snail shells. But, a recent study by Polish scientists has found that the tiny crustaceans are increasingly turning to trash for refuge.

        The beaches need to be cleaned, like once a month at least to help the hermit crabs.

            Poor crabs!!The way they are harvested from the wild to be sold in stores as pets is AWFUL.Please don’t take them from the wild.If you do have them keep them in a nice big enclosure and give them lots of love!

              I agree! As someone who had pet hermit crabs, I definatly agree. I didn't know much about them at all when I first got them. I just thought it would be a fun pet, but then me and my sister looked stuff up about them and slowly began to regret it. I really loved them, but I was really sad.

                I wish people could just keep the beach clean. This is so sad.
