Calci Sand

Post by C: ClareCrabOwner :) » Fri Jun 06, 2025 2:43 pm

So, I know that the calcium sands are a bad idea to use in your crab cage, but I was wondering if you could put some in a dish for the hermit crabs to eat, for a source of calcium?

The fact that calci sand can cause impaction issue in reptiles makes me believe that it is not meant to be edible.

Someone else feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
