Why Hermit Crabs Need Chitin

  • Exoskeleton structure & repair – Chitin is a fibrous substance found in the shells of crustaceans and insects. When hermit crabs molt, they shed their old exoskeleton and build a new one. Chitin is a key building block for this new protective layer.

  • Strength & flexibility – It helps give the exoskeleton both toughness and a bit of flexibility, which is important for movement and protection.

  • Molting recovery – Eating chitin-rich foods (like insect exoskeletons or shrimp shells) before and after molting provides the raw materials to hermit carbs need to rebuild faster.
