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!

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.

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.

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