It took a mountain of effort to battle through April's orders — the biggest delays we've ever experienced. Between working through an enormous backlog while grieving, being sick, raising five unexpected kittens, caring for sick kids, and dealing with every other challenge life decided to throw our way, it felt like an uphill climb every single day.

But we finally made it! 🎉

The very last April order left today, which means I can now start processing new orders. I haven't removed the 2-week minimum processing timeframe from the website, as that still stands for now. Our first new order was placed approximately 9 business days ago, which means we're currently running ahead of schedule on new orders!

That said, we've learned that life can be unpredictable, so the 2-week minimum processing timeframe will remain in place for now while we continue building consistency back into our workflow.

I'm also working hard to get mixes and supplies restocked. Another shipment of XL shells is on the way, along with a large delivery of ingredients we've been desperately needing.

Thank you, as always, for your incredible support, kindness, and patience. Every encouraging message, order, and bit of understanding has meant more than you know 🧡

Our 3D print queue is still huge, but our two printers are absolutely smashing through it and doing a beautiful job! 😍

Hey Hermie Fam,

A quick update on our Carousel Wheels!

We've been working on improving the grip pattern on our wheels, and we're excited to share the finished result with you.

From now on, all Carousel Wheel orders will be printed using this updated design.

The new grip pattern features additional raised sections, creating more texture and traction for your hermies. We think this will make it even easier for our little crabby friends to climb, run, and enjoy their wheel time.

We're really happy with how this upgrade has turned out and can't wait to hear what you think. We hope you love the new design as much as we do! 🎡🧡

Hermie House Feeding Platform 🧡
Small - 18.9cm L x 15.8cm W x 10.4cm H
(Suited for S-M crabs)
Large - 23.7cm L x 19.7cm W x 13cm H
(Suited for L-Jumbo crabs)

Give your hermies the perfect place to climb, snack, and hide away with our brand new Hermie House Feeding Platform!

Designed with both enrichment and functionality in mind, this multi-purpose hide features a cosy underneath hideaway with a single entrance and round side window, helping your hermit crabs feel secure while they rest. A connected ladder leads up to the spacious flat-top balcony, creating the perfect elevated platform for placing food dishes.

By elevating food dishes off the substrate, foods stay fresher for longer and are less likely to become buried, mouldy, or mixed through the sand during nightly crab parties. The raised feeding area also helps keep your enclosure tidier while making food easier for your hermies to access.

Not only does it maximise usable tank space, but it also encourages natural climbing behaviours while creating a fun two-level environment for your crabs to explore.

Features:
• Flat balcony for food bowl storage
• Easily removable balcony insert for cleaning
• Spacious hide underneath
• Hollow base for easy substrate digging
• Encourages climbing and enrichment
• Elevated feeding area to help keep foods cleaner and fresher for longer

Now available online!

There’s no packing happening today, sorry everyone! I started getting today’s order sheets ready to print and, of course, my printer has decided to completely give up 😭 I’m currently unable to print anything.

I’ve ordered urgent replacement parts which should arrive tomorrow, so fingers crossed I can get everything back up and running quickly. In the meantime, today will be spent restocking items and catching up on any non-packing work I can get done.

I’m so sorry for yet another day of delays — definitely not what I was expecting to deal with today.

You may remember that last August we released our very first mid-year themed mystery box!

We always love celebrating the major holidays — Christmas, Halloween, Easter — but we realised there’s not much fun happening in the middle of the year. So, we decided to trial a brand new themed box, and our “Crabby Potter” mystery box was an absolute hit! 🪄

Since then, we’ve been asked countless times if we’ll be continuing the mid-year themed mystery boxes… and the answer is YES!

This year though, we can’t decide between these two fun themes, so we need your help. Cast your vote below and help us choose this year’s classic movie/book-inspired mystery box theme!

Which themed mystery box would you love to see this year?

Our baby hermit crabs are born and raised entirely in captivity, never experiencing the stress of being taken from the wild or the harm of abuse or neglect. From day one, they’re hand-raised with love, care, and dedicated attention. Captive-bred hermit crabs enjoy healthier lives and often live lo...

Features:
• Colour matched to our feeding jars and feeding chart

• Multiple compartments for easy portioning

So, it looks like we’ll be reopening sooner than I had hoped.

With no income coming in, but bills, food costs, school fees, and everyday expenses still continuing to flow out, we simply don’t have the option to stay closed any longer.

The store will officially reopen tomorrow at 5pm AEST.

We’ve updated the website header, and there is now also a notice displayed at checkout regarding current processing times.

For NEW orders, processing times will currently be a minimum of 2 weeks. This does not apply to the final 40 existing orders that I am still working through.

If you choose to place an order over the weekend, please keep these delays in mind before purchasing.

Ideally, I would have loved to reopen with a completely cleared queue, but unfortunately, bills don’t wait for orders to catch up.

XL shells will be restocked over the weekend, along with a selection of mixes.

At the moment, we are experiencing ingredient supply delays, which means a number of mixes cannot be restocked until those shipments arrive. We appreciate your patience while we wait for stock to come in.
