A little about us...
I am a San Diego native and I love hermit crabs!
So Cal Hermit Crab Rescue was founded in 2016 after we realized there was no where to adopt hermit crabs in Southern California. Worse yet, there was no where for unwanted hermit crabs to seek refuge. Instead, they were posted in pictures on Craigslist and other classifieds alongside their critter keeper that contained bright sand and gravel.
We wanted to offer a place to hermit crabs where they could be in a correct hermit crab environment and have a chance at a healthy and long life.
Hermit crabs do not breed in captivity and are harvested from the wild. I wanted families that were able to provide loving suitable homes for hermit crabs, to have an option for adoption instead of supporting the abusive journey hermit crabs are forced to take to get to the pet stores.
My son was the one who initially got me started with hermit crabs, and I quickly fell in love with them too. How could you not, as they sweetly peer up at you with their big eyes?!
We aim to provide education on basic hermit crab care or point you to that direction. We are not experts on hermit crabs, but we do have many years of experience, and have successfully rehabilitated and rehomed many hermit crabs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We will even go over your crabitat and hermit crab care with you if you'de like.
