Looking for a simple, natural hermit crab enrichment idea? This free hermit crab enrichment item is both adorable and functional — a woven bird nest! These natural nests make the perfect little foraging bowl for hermit crabs to climb into, nap in, snack on, and explore. Filled with safe foraged goodies, moss, leaves, flowers, or treats, they create a cozy enrichment spot your crabs will love.

I thought I’d share how I use bird nests as a fun hermit crab tank accessory, plus ideas for turning them into an enriching snack station using safe natural materials. It’s an easy way to add climbing, hiding, and foraging opportunities while giving your crabitat a cute natural look!
