Honey

Post by crabby33 » Tue Dec 04, 2018 10:13 pm

Is it recommended to offer honey to pre-molt crabs? Buckbeak is in pre molt right now and I’m trying to figure out if honey should be offered along side olive oil.

I would think honey can be given any time. And it's energy food. Also if the crab doesn't eat it, he doesn't need it. I would serve it.

I did serve him honey tonight along with dried crickets, mealworms, a calcium pit, and olive oil. Okay, he didn’t want the honey. So he doesn’t need it.

He may want it tomorrow. Because, y'know...he's a crab. Lol.

I give my crabs honey every day. Sometimes they eat it all and sometimes it remains untouched. I don't think there would be any harm in just giving it to them all the time (please tell me if there is!) Other than that sometimes organic honey is expensive.

I'm still pretty new to this and I'm trying to learn all I can!
