blood worms

[dinky]

I received a container of bloodworms with the new crabbies I adopted. I am new at this and have never fed these yet, do you feed them dry??

[KrabbyKelly]

I just put them in the dish dry-it's one of their favorites!

I wouldn't wet them down - they will start rotting and smelling very quickly! The dry will last for a few days in the tank and will give them time to eat. It's been hit or miss with bloodworms for my PPs - some days one or two of the crabs (mainly Hannibal) will sit in the dish and finish off everything, while other days it won't get touched.

Thanks.....do you do the same with the dried shrimp?

[KrabbyKelly]

Ya, I give the dried shrimp dry also, along with dried crickets and mealworms that you give reptiles.

thanks all, going to have some feasting crabs tonight (:

My crabs eat about a tablespoon of bloodworms per day! As soon as I put them in, they come out & start chowing down..rarely are there any left the next day.

You are so right! I put them in about an hour ago and superman crawled in and cleaned up almost all himself, had to add more for the others....thanks!

Mine come frozen and look extremely disgusting...so I thought the crabs would love them, but they never seem to touch them. Maybe the dried blood worms will get a better reception.
