The Land Hermit Crab Owners Society (LHCOS) is a small, dedicated nonprofit committed to protecting wild hermit crab populations through education, advocacy, and outreach.

By donating you’re helping us:

  • Educate the public on responsible hermit crab care
  • Educate the public about threats to hermit crabs and their habitat
  • Run anti-poaching and resource conservation campaigns
  • Provide free educational resources like Claws in the Classroom
  • Co-host Crab Con, the only hermit crab conference
  • Support the adoption and rehoming of hermit crabs

Every dollar goes directly into programs that make a difference for wild hermit crabs and the people who love them. We don’t have big sponsors or grants — we rely on you, our community.

👉 Help us reach our $1,000 goal today — every contribution matters!

Leave the shells, take only memories!
