Education
is the key to a better future for Australian hermit crabs

At The Happy Hermie, our goal is to educate the Australian hermit crab community on proper husbandry and care of these very special creatures by advocating for an animal that does not have a voice. Educate always, yourself and others. All blogs below have been written by and belong to The Happy Hermie. All information posted is 100% up to date and accurate, following the guidelines put in place by the Land Hermit Crab Owners Society (LHCOS).
