Our New Hermit Crabs

The library is now home to three hermit crabs, thanks to the efforts of Library Trustee Michelle Colman, and the generosity of Ridgefield Pet. The pet store not only donated the crabs, they included a “crabitat” aquarium complete with food, sand and larger shells for when the crabs outgrow their current homes. The hermit crabs’ new home is located in the Children’s Room.

     In celebration of our new pets, the library had a naming contest. By popular consensus (or those names appearing over and over again), our three hermit crabs have been named Crabby, Hermit and Shelly.
