A pinch of Wheat Germ and a dab of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on top of the scrambled egg mix.

Simple but the crabs will like it…rose bud, over-ripe banana with dried coconut, salmon rolled in NarNar’s vegetable kibble.

I bought them on the internet.
Tonight, I gave them straight-up honey.
Nole came running to the bowl!

Very simple last night--oats rolled in honey, chopped mushrooms, and a tiny bit of pellet food. They seemed to really like the oats, and Hermionie loved the mushrooms. They didn't touch the pellets, though--it figures. :roll: They had enough of that at the pet store...

Tonight's menu:
Main course-raisins, pumpkin seeds, and carrots (all cut up) mixed with canola oil
Side- shredded wheat cereal
Dessert-orange (they love this!)

Tonight I'm trying something new--popcorn! (unsalted, of course). I'm mixing it with diced carrots and raisins, and olive oil to stick it all together. Hope they like it!

Last night I didn't have much time so I just cut up some tropical fruit and mixed it with flaxseed and cuttlebone. They seemed to like it.

Ooooookay... am I the only one posting now or something? Anyway...

Tonight's menu- Firecracker salad
Ingredients: grated orange peel, uncooked oats, chopped cranberries, flax seed, and a tiny bit of commercial crab food. Mix it all together and add some powdered cuttlebone or crushed eggshells for extra calcium. Ta-da!
