(On October 12, 2022, Hermit House was officially granted non-profit status. We did it!)
Hermit House’s mission is a simple one. We are working hard to:
~
Keep Wild Hermit Crabs Wild.
~
And our approach, in upholding that mission, takes seven parts:
~
1. Establish a reliable captive-breeding program for land hermit crabs
2. Continually improve the methods for captive-breeding land hermit crabs
3. Mentor and support potential land hermit crab breeders
4. Educate the public on the capture and abuse of wild hermit crabs for the pet trade
5. End the sale of wild-caught hermit crabs
6. Preserve populations of wild hermit crabs and the lands they inhabit
7. Host CRAB CON, our annual, educational hermit crab conference
