A pet who loves (and lives on) the beach

Land hermit crabs are unusual pets. In the wild, when they get too big for the shell they are currently living in, they look for larger empty snail shells. They communicate by tapping each other's shells.

Part of Enslow's Far-Out and Unusual Pets series, Hermit Crabs is a great book for those interested in looking for unusual pets.

Enslow is planning on publishing six more titles in this series in 2012. Watch for them!
