Hermit Crab Pet

Hermit Crab Pet
Bloom, the hermit crab and Pia, my little princess

My little princess saw the Lucky Hermits stand that sells hermit crab pets and accessories at Mall of Asia yesterday night. Since then, she never stopped talking about it and whenever there's an opportunity, she would tell me and her mom that she like to have a hermit crab pet. I bought her one today and she was really happy.

According to Lucky Hermits staff, hermit crab life span is about ten to fifteen years. I never knew is actually lives that long. All the while I thought it's just a throwaway pet. Let's see how long Bloom lives. That's the name Pia gave her new pet.

I was told that in about two months, the hermit crab I bought will look for another hermit crab shell. Thus, I bought an extra shell in anticipation. It would be interesting to watch a hermit crab move to a new and bigger crab shell.

Do you have a hermit crab pet, too? Please share some hermit crab care tips.
