Take home one of these cuddle crustaceans today! This hermit crab soft toy is stuffed with material made from recycled plastic bottles and would be the perfect gift for any aquatic animal lover.

Did you know, hermit crabs scavenge the ocean floor looking for empty mollusc shells which they use as protection. Because the shell isn’t really theirs, they’ll soon outgrow it and need to find a new one. Some species of hermit crabs have been observed forming orderly queues going from smallest to largest. When the largest jumps to a new, bigger shell, it leaves it’s old one vacant ready for the next biggest crab to hop in; this continues all the way down the chain, so every crab gets a slightly bigger shell!
