At work yesterday I found an aquarium log that floats in a fish tank but i think my crabs would love hiding in it and climbing on it. I have a fat piece of cholla wood in there now. There's one "entrance" hole they all crowd into and when i lift up the wood theres always two of them under it like a secret hermit crab club meeting.

My tiny hermie hut is like that. It's really small, but sometimes all five of them are in there! :| It's surprising how many crabs can fit in such a small space.
