You guys come up with good ideas and recipes...

Tonight I just prepared some cantaloupe mixed with mango drizzled with honey and cuttle bone.
Hope Big Mama eats it...

I have thrown out all the commercial food,and have found a recipe my crabs love (well,it's the 1st mix of my own anyway,but they like it)

Applebutter with crushed pecans,mixed with a little peanut butter and honey.

The bowl isn't big enough for all 3 at once.They were pushing at each other to get to it,so I think I am going to need an extra food bowl or 2.

The 10gal tat where everyone is underground has oats and raisins drizzled with honey. It even looks good to me haha.

The exo tat with active crabs has oats, raisins, honey and a scrambled egg mix that has leftover egg yolks from a different recipe with egg shells, grated carrots, and oats all scrambled up. Oh, and some clementine. They seem to like it all.

Mine have trail mix (unsalted nuts, raisins, sunflower seeds) surf-n-turf from the Crabbagepatch (dried mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, plankton, krill, bloodworms, and mealworms), some cooked pinto beans (they love these). They also have their usual dish of worm castings, and calcium. They also have an egg shell that I threw in the tank, they ate half of it already! :P

Today's brunch is a colorful conglomeration brought to us by the letter C... chicken, celery leaves, carrots and cherries topped with clover honey and calcium powder.

I found some sun dried shrimp at Petco. My crabs go nuts over that stuff. I also threw in some pieces of raw coconut and they went nuts over that too.

My crabs have been going crazy over nuts lately so tonight I'm going to try some banana rolled in honey, oats, and crushed almonds.

You mean Apple Butter minus all the sugar, cinnamon, and other spices (allspice, cloves, salt)? Right? :|
