There are hermit crabs in my class. I was looking for a doll to use to introduce my new class to our pets. At first I was shocked that the hermit crab doll was actually available and that the price was very reasonable. When I received the doll everything was exactly as described. This is a medium sized doll that fits perfectly on an adult's hand. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is because I want the crab itself to be able to fully penetrate the shell like our hermit crabs do when they're sleeping or scared.
