As hermit crabs grow, they must move into larger shells to stay protected and healthy. The Zoo Med Hermit Crab Growth Shell Assorted, Small, 3 Pack makes it easy to keep the right shells ready in their habitat.

Support Natural Growth and Molting

• Sized for small hermit crabs: Ideal for young or smaller crabs that are ready to upgrade from their current shell.
• Encourages safe shell changes: Providing extra shells helps your crab switch when it feels secure, instead of staying cramped in a too-small shell.
• Great for molting cycles: Having spare shells available before and after a molt supports smoother, less stressful transitions.

Reduce Stress and Shell Fights

• Multiple options in one pack: Includes 3 assorted shells so your hermit crab can choose the fit and shape it prefers.
• Helps prevent competition: Extra shells in the enclosure can reduce shell-related aggression between tank mates.
• Easy habitat upgrade: Simply place the shells in the warm, dry area of the enclosure where your crabs explore most.

How to Use

1. Choose shells that are slightly larger than the shell your hermit crab currently wears.
2. Rinse new shells in dechlorinated or saltwater and let them dry before placing in the habitat.
3. Offer several shells at once so your crab can inspect and select its favorite.
4. Keep extra shells available at all times, especially when you notice pre-molt behavior.
