Where to buy poop?

Post by Nate the great » Mon Jun 03, 2013 5:42 pm

Does anyone know of a good source of hermie safe animal poop? What about earthworm castings?

I'm looking for a source that can sell it in quantities of a pound or more.

I've found that the best way to offer castings is to simply dump a couple heaping tablespoons in the crabitat at a time and let the hermies scavenge it. Every so often I rake it into the substrate and dump more in another location. It's not the most efficient approach, but it saves me the effort of having to set out a food dish solely for the purpose of offering poop.

Thanks!
Currently the caretaker for:

Hermit Crab Patch does sell their worm castings by the pound: http://www.hermitcrabpatch.com/Organic- ... /su012.htm Other sites may as well. I know that Wolfnipplechips sells various types of poop in her Alaska Hermit food store.

Oh, good, they're back in stock.

I've gotten the casting at HCP before, but that item was out of stock for a couple months so eventually I gave up. Maybe I should have been more patient.

Yep, AlaskaHermit.com is the place to get Moose Poop and Dall Sheep Poop. :) (My hermits love them!)

I was wondering how to supplement without buying. Turns out the frass from my caterpillars the crabs love!
