Get it because you can fit 3 or 4 crabs in it and its warm inside if you have coconut husk for bedding.
Pros: easy to clean, stylish

The title of this product is 'Crab Shack,' but isn't just for hermit crabs. My fence lizard uses this constantly. It's the perfect retreat for a lizard whos down basking. He just curls up inside and doesn't come out. It's insilated from the cold as well as the heat, and is very long lasting.
Pros: long lasting, used by pet, insulated
Cons: none

It dosent have any paint or anything bad for them.So this is harmless! I just love T-Rex stuff! You should really buy this. Plus its cheap! =P
Pros: climbing toy, hideout, dosent smell bad, looks great with sand, looks good, no paint

Of all hte products I've tried from petstores this'd have to be my favorite, it's the first that doesn't have harmfull chemicals to preserve it or toxic paint on it. Though I have found makeing my own from home to be more fun * And you get the T-Rex Coconut dried fruit treat free * But if you don't have the time or your neighbor's don't appreciate the noise of you working out all your frustrations trying to crack a coconut in half this is a good alternitive...
Pros: no harmful chemicals or toxic paint, nice hideaway
Cons: doesn't fit any guy bigger then a golfball

My hermies love this! Hermit crabs are nocturnal so during the day they love to be in the darkness of this cute coconut. If you have more than 5 hermits I recomend getting 2 or more to minimize crowding (if you have coconut loving hermies like mine!) Make sure to scrub it well every few weeks to prevent mold!
Pros: hermit crabs love it

I love this product! my small crab loves it but my bigger crab can't even fit! The entrances are too small for the big guys but besides that its a great overall product and i recommend for any first-time hermit crab buyers.

My little crabs love this! the larger one loves dark places and is always running to the shadows! they spend every second they can in it! they like climbing on it too! The opening is a little to small for the larger one so i had to dig under it so it could get in.

These are absolutely adorable! Mine has a pointed top, and looks like a little tiki hut for my crabs, who love it. They haven't gone in it yet, but the love to climb it to have a loot around or to have a little nibble.

My hermit crabs love this product! But over time black mold forms in the inside and it has to be properly cleaned every week.

Cute Hut, Good For Little Hermie's.

July 2, 2007
by HermitCrabMom
fromGeorgia, US
Good for teenys and possibly smalls but if you have larger Hermie's you'll need larger huts. Make sure to boil them in extra strength saltwater before adding to the tat and reboiling them once a week to discourage mold growth.

Great and Bad

August 21, 2006
by Maleigh
fromBarnegat, NJ
Although crabs love these, check under it for molt and bugs very often.When I came back from vacation last year I looked at the bottom of my crab's coconut hut and it had slimy black mold. The other coconut hut had about a million tiny bugs in it. So if you get this, it is great, but remember to check it every day or two.
