Hermit Crab Moving Company
Two crabs, several shells, endless real estate drama.
Two crabs, spare shells to swap, starfish, and coral. They never ask to borrow money and always return the shell.
🔧 Small amount of assembly required
How to care for your pal
- Swap the crabs between shells any time — that's the whole point of this one.
- No humidity requirements. Your dry office air is perfect.
- Small pieces included; keep away from kids under 3 and enthusiastic dogs.
- A soft brush clears sand-texture crevices better than a cloth.
Where this pal came from
Every hermit crab owner knows the shell-shopping ritual. We made a version where nobody gets pinched and nobody outgrows their home at 2 AM.
Every pal ships with a printed origin story card so you know exactly who made it, where it was printed, and what it's been up to.

The adoption packet
📜 Adoption paper
Name your pal, sign on the dotted line, and it's officially yours. No background check, no landlord approval.
🔧 Instruction sheet
Step-by-step assembly and habitat arranging. It's a small amount of assembly — basically a Lego appetizer.
🗺️ Origin information
A card with your pal's backstory, print details, and care reminders for the fridge door.
🏡 Started animal-only? Upgrade to the full habitat anytime
Every Desk Pal is available as an animal-only adoption ($35, or $45 for the magnetic chameleon) or as a complete habitat set. If you adopt the animal first and fall in love (you will), you can add the habitat later — you only pay the difference, not the full set price.
To upgrade, email info@busyhands3d.com with your original order number and which habitat you'd like. We'll send a payment link for the difference plus one shipping charge for the habitat pieces — your pal's adoption papers stay valid.
