Well... it was LAST nights meal... but it's gone this morning. Hehe...

2 separate shell dishes filled with:

a bed of green seaweed soaked in sea salt water
topped with Krill (thawed sitting out... boy the cats were interested!)
sprinkled with dried mango and coconut

on the side was some muesili (sp?) and different dry kibbles in each dish

Musta been a hit since it's gone. Even the seaweed was chewed up! Hehe... glad they are eating their greens.

Would Scrabled eggs be OK for the crabs? I need ideas for fresh food because right now all I offer them is Fruit +Flower Crab Food. (I know it has CS in it, I will switch it soon

okay, this was from the other day, but have to say that it was pretty popular

NarNar's blue mix/Tiffy's ground almond, flax, cuddlebone, whole grain oats mix mixed with fresh coconut juice. (Of course, they had proteins and other assortments, but they really liked the coconut flavored yummies.

We were wondering what to feed the crabs today, and my son says "How about some eggs?"

I thought that was a great idea, I had read a couple of recipes on here.

So I said sure, and we added:

Mushroom
narnar's blue kibble
cuttlebone
chopped up stir-fry shrimp
chopped up algae wafers (w/spirulina)

I had the olive oil heated in the pan and my son yelled "Wait!". We always stir milk or water into our eggs, so he ran and got the crabs salt water! So we added a little saltwater for flavor.

So far so good, we've already had a few interested customers. We froze the rest for some quick & easy "defrostable" meals.

Mango
Kiwi
strawberries

Garnished with oatmeal and torn-up spinach leaves.

.... and reading these menus I wonder why I ever wondered why hermit crabs get so picky...

Tonight's meal includes some chicken, tomato, celery leaves, walnuts, peanut butter all chopped and mixed together, and they better eat it or they aren't getting any dessert..

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 7:31 pm

Tonight the crabs are getting

Dish 1: Romaine lettuce, cilantro, broccoli, shredded carrot, cauliflower, green pepper, crushed eggshell

Oh and a quick question: Does the eggshell just have to be crushed into really small pieces or crushed into a fine powder?

Dish 2: Banana (possibly), raisin, oatmeal, dehydrated apple, crushed peanuts, and a drop of honey on top

Tonight they got a little clam shell of what I had for dinner: Cooked pasta tossed with salmon (no added salt), mushrooms, tomato chunks and corn kernels (also no added salt)! Smells and tastes delicious, both for me and the crabs! I've done this before and they like munching on the cooked pasta (even after it dries out) and dragging the salmon around the tat, lol!

PS. I love yours, cranlsn (egg, etc. with saltwater!) Sounds like a great nutritious and tasty meal for the crabs, I'll have to try it
