One of the most popular pets among crustacean lovers of all ages is the ever famous Hermit Crab. It took long enough, but there is now a loveable series of toys dedicated to and made in the image of these much loved pets, the Xia Xia (pronounced Sha Sha) pets.
Lots of Choices Available
Based on a carnival theme, this line of pets has four different characters to choose from, each in a special color and with their own special decorative accents. Not only does each one look different, the looks add to the special personalities each one displays. Among the many there are in this wonderful collection, you will find Bimini, who is wearing a pink polka dot shell and has flirty eyes, Trinidad, who has a grey skull and spots on his shell, Tobago, who looks very rugged and boyish with his blue shell and silly grin, and Turks who has a red shell and wears very feminine bows. Each one also comes with a surprise friend inside the shell. Not only that, they can also trade shells and wear the shell of one of their Xia Xia pets.
Accessories
The pets are not the only benefit of collecting these loveable critters. There are many accessories that are available to purchase to make playing with them even more fun. There are very stylish and colorful shell replacements you can collect so that you have all 12 different shells for your hermit crab pets.

What People Are Saying
There have been mixed reviews about the Xia Xia Pets , even though it is one of the most popular among kids ages three and up. Many parents love the way they move when you squeeze the claws together, and the little dances they do. Many have even said that kids love making a little parade with them using two or more and making them all move at the same time. One concern that has been noted is that they are very small, smaller than expected when ordered in some cases. That can also be a benefit, especially if your child likes to carry little toys around in their pockets. Generally, though, reviews have been positive, and people seem to enjoy watching their kids play with them. The silliness and colorful shells are very much liked among adults and children alike.
