My kids caught some hermit crabs at the beach and we are observing them for our "ocean" month.
I am having a hard time finding information on marine hermit crabs and we would love to keep these guys alive and possibly return to the ocean when we are done with our unit.
Any information you can give me is great! Thanks!
