In the wild, hermit crabs typically inhabit coastal areas, where they can find a variety of shells to use as their protective homes. They are scavengers, feeding on algae, dead animals, and detritus. Hermit crabs are known for their ability to adapt to different environments by moving into larger shells as they grow, and they are also known to engage in social interactions with other hermit crabs.
