Zoo Med Hermit Crab Growth Shell - Assorted, Small, 3 Pack

Small Growth Shells to Support Natural Shell-Changing Behavior

The Zoo Med Hermit Crab Growth Shell in Small comes in a convenient 3-pack, giving you multiple shell options to keep in your hermit crab's enclosure at all times. As hermit crabs grow, they need larger shells to move into, and having a selection of appropriately sized growth shells readily available is a key part of responsible hermit crab care.

These assorted small shells are sized larger than a smaller crab's current shell, making them ideal upgrade options for smaller or younger hermit crabs. The 3-pack format ensures you always have backup shells on hand so your crab is never without a suitable option when it is ready to change.
