Mine are having pineapple, yam baby food, sardines (packed in water and no salt), and daves bread crust as a treat. It's completely organic and just all around good bread with no ingredients I can't pronounce. It was also gone when I checked on the tank an hour later :) Everyone seems to have peanut butter loving crabs but mine hate it. They scrap it off any food and wont' eat what ever it touches. :roll:

I don't know how four crabs can clear a dish...I have 15 and the food is hardly messed with (except the crabs who think the shortest point from a to b is to march through the food dish :roll: ). The only thing that they ever steal from the food dish is dried bananas or honey coated food.

Tonight is cod, strawberries, apple, dead mealworms from my mealworm farm, and a piece of cabbage. My live mealworms are babies so way too small, and last time they hatched 2 into beetles in their shell shop...I give them food, they make it a pet... :roll:

I made a fancy meal tonight. 2 dishes, and a treat! First a rinsed some canned tuna off, mixed some diced apple and a little avocado together into a mush and then I made a avocado honey mix and wrapped that in some seaweed. I put 2 tsp of fresh crab treat (small pieces of popcorn dusted in powdered hibiscus flower and some rose petals). As well, made a few table spoons of moss (its so dry, I soaked it in fresh water for 30 minutes to soften it). Coral loves the moss. Shes always eating it after her meal.

What can I say? I love crabs!

Before I went to work today I decided to clean out the remains of a fresh fruit/veggie medley that had been picked apart over the course of three or four days. I replaced it with some bloodworms, sprinkled some mineral supplement and worm castings on from HCP sample packs I've received, and then decided on a whim as I was almost out the door... let's try honey. Accidentally, I more or less submerged all the food already in the bowl in the sticky amber goo. Oh well, better to give it a try anyway rather than waste food. Almost immediately, my medium PP meanders over to the food dish and goes to town. I get back from work four hours later and he hasn't moved! I guess honey does the trick.
