Description This was requested as a birthday gift for a friend, based on the previous tin can hermit but with a chicken instead of a tuna. I like this little guy waaaaaay better than the original, I gave him little mandibles and everything, which was tough to sculpt and paint, but the end result was well worth it.

I'd like to note that it has been pointed out to me that tin cans and other foreign objects are actually really bad for crabs, and should not be used as shells for them.

If you are interested in commissioning me, or purchasing one of my pieces, please feel free to note me.

It's so cute.
I remember I had two hermit crabs when I was 8... but they ended up dying, sadly. I remember how cute they were, and I'm hoping to get another soon.

If you get another, make sure you get two. Apparently they are very social, and need the company. They are pretty cute, I want some myself but they're meant to live well over a decade, and even two!

I'll keep that in mind, then.
