color enhancer?

Post by mrsnuggles » Tue Jan 21, 2025 12:33 pm

i was looking around on etsy a bit and saw a food mix labeled to supposedly "enhance" the hermits colors. i have not heard of this before, and couldnt find anything on it. the shop had no reviews, so i wasnt sure if it was completely legit or not. anyone know if its safe?

Food can enhance your crabs color, but it is mostly due to genetics. Are the ingredients listed? If not, I would not buy. If they are, you can look at the safe foods list and see if the ingredients are safe. Personally I would stick with food that has good reviews.
I love my two cool crabs Zote and Fizban.
And my cats Echo and Smudge.

Foods won't make a big difference in crab color, despite what some people will tell you to get you to buy their products.
