Natural Catappa Leaves for Hermit Crab Habitats
Fluker's Hermit Crab Catappa Leaves are a natural habitat addition that serves multiple purposes in the hermit crab enclosure. Placed inside the habitat, these brown catappa leaves create natural hiding places that crabs love to play under and carry back to their shells. Their presence adds a layer of environmental enrichment that supports natural hermit crab behaviors.
Beyond enrichment, catappa leaves help maintain higher humidity levels within the enclosure - an important factor in keeping land hermit crabs healthy and comfortable. Crabs will also nibble on the leaves, providing a natural source of cellulose as part of their varied diet.
Sold in a pack of 5, Fluker's Catappa Leaves are a simple, natural way to enhance any hermit crab habitat.

Material and Design Breakdown
Catappa leaves are a natural product that integrates seamlessly into hermit crab habitats. Their organic texture and structure provide crabs with surfaces to explore, hide under, and interact with. As the leaves break down over time, they continue to contribute to the habitat environment and can be replaced as needed from the pack.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
Place catappa leaves directly on the substrate inside the hermit crab enclosure. Crabs will naturally interact with the leaves - hiding under them, carrying them, and nibbling on them. Replace leaves as needed to maintain a fresh habitat environment.
