My first try and making them food.

mash banana with dried krill
scabbled egg with a little bit of eggshell, tomato, and Hikari Bio-pure krill.

Just let it cooled and put in the tank. I guess we will see what they think...

PEA SOUP! well the crabby version, I put some lentils and split green peas in a dish of declor water to soften and for a side dish they have a 1/2 sprig of millet :) I might sprinkle a little salt, the crab safe type, over the peas :)

OMG I can't believe how much popcorn they ate! Seriously, I had a big oyster shell full of it and 2 crabs (or maybe just 1) devoured ALL the popcorn - in the morning there were only hard brown popcorn husks left in the dish!

I have never seen them eat such a large volume of food! What a hit!

The safe food mixed fruit thing, carrots, bloodworms, and cuttlebone. A really cool thing is that you can use a shell to scrape the cuttlebone over the food like a cheese grater. Nothing else needed. :D

My crabs got a real treat tonight since it's Friday and all. No need for the humans to be the only ones celebrating the end of the week!

Organic lettuce and spinach
Cooked rice
Freeze dried krill
A grape
Crushed unsalted peanuts
Shredded carrots
All sprinkled with powdered cuttlebone and eggshells.

They are some happy crabbies!

Tonight I gave mine some baker's apple (canned 100% apple pieces) sprinkled with my own freshly made kibble:

(Kibble recipe: 5 kinds of nuts [almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, green pistachios, & peanuts], spirulina, hibiscus flowers, flaxseed, irish moss, bee-pollen, jasmine flowers, some coco-oil-popped popcorn, psyllium seeds, dried barley-grass, bloodworms and tubifex worms)

and I also fried 1/4 of a prawn-tail with some exo in coconut oil to bring out the smell, and they got that in another dish! :)
I also sliced up a green grape for them on another dish, and some organic fresh pumpkin drizzled with honey in another. They LOVED the grape and prawn, and I think someone's been at the apple (hard to tell - they eat so little!). The pumpkin was also eaten.
My crabs have been less active lately, probably due to a temperature drop (winter in Aust.), so haven't eaten a lot :(

But I had heaps of fun giving them these great treats!
