Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew...
LOL
Really tho, you can scramble them, boil them, smash them, shell and all and feed it to them.
Just use crab safe herbs or make them plain. No table salt or butter.
Olive or coconut oil if you want.

I separated the yolk from the raw albumin, threw away one part of the eggshell with the yolk in it, and then used the other part of the eggshell as a "bowl" and poured a little bit of the albumin in it. The crabs seemed to like it.

Why did you separate the yolk out?PinchersAndShells wrote:I separated the yolk from the raw albumin, threw away one part of the eggshell with the yolk in it, and then used the other part of the eggshell as a "bowl" and poured a little bit of the albumin in it. The crabs seemed to like it.

I scramble one in a dry pan, then put clumps on prices of eggshell with raw white still in it. I do about 4 pieces per egg and refrigerate inn a baggie until feeding.
