Never posted here before!
Ok here goes:
Tonight --> walnuts, applesauce (Fifi's favorite!) and a piece of fresh coconut. Also some dried baby shrimp (actually meant for fish food haha, another crab favorite.) No matter how much shrimp I put in there its always gone by the next day - they love it!

Live mealworms, coconut, popcorn, and prickly pear drizzled with a bit of honey. They loved the prickly pear!

dried seaweed, shredded salmon, apple treat mix (finely diced apple, finely diced almonds plus rolled oats and honey all mixed up) dehydrated bell peppers and apples, fresh tomatoe and lettuce + a little cheese!
wow my crabbies meals are way more elaborate then mine.. i had mr noodles

pretty elaborate again, dandelion, rose petals and lettuce salad with peanut butter treat (peanut butter, rolled oats and honey all mized together) a shrimp for every crab, blackberries and honeydew (i love how most of this meal was stuff i picked off bushes or the ground on my way home from school )

Do the crabs like pumpkin? I gave mine a mix of hermit crab goodies from the patch in one bowl, then always a shell of honey, and then lettuce, pepper, coconut, shrimp, apple. I need to try the applesauce. I tried baby food before and they were not impressed.

someone scooped all the insides of a pumpkin and served it to their crabs, she wrote about it and they seemed to really like it. only id reccommend you serve slices, since she served a small whole one lots didnt get eaten and it goes bad in about 48 hours

We haven't carved our pumpkins yet but when we do I plan on baking the seeds and then on the one painted pumpkin we have I plan on cutting the meat into small squares and freezing them. Maybe even blend all the meat and stringy guts and then freezing it in my penguin ice cube (haha so cute) tray and then storing them in a freezer bag. I do that with my mango and sweet potatoe and they love it. Sometimes I'll even pour honey over the sweet potatoe so it's like thanksgiving with brown sugar!! I would like to think it's more interesting because it's in the shale of a penguin but that's mostly cause I treat my crabs like their my kids!! Yeah I'm a bit crazy but who isn't on this board!!!

nothing wrong with being crazy
tonight: slizes of pumpkin w/ guts, pommegranate seeds, a smallish rose, baby shrimp, fresh coconut, dandelion greens and a goo with chopped walnuts, peanut butter, honey, cuttlebone shavings, oats and fish food!

fresh pair and oak leaves with a crabby ommlette served in some eggshell! (omlette: egg, crushed eggshell, shrimp, cuttlebone powder, cheese, dandelion greens)
