What are some of your picky crabs favorite foods? I'm having a hard time finding things mine will actually eat. I want to start dehydrating things for them as I don't often have fresh food in the house.
I'll post a quick list of what I've tried and how it went over.
Like:
cooked chicken
fresh banana
dried rose petals
honey
fish food flakes
bee pollen
Dislike
Boiled egg
egg shells
raw prawns
canned mussels
dried cilantro
dried basil
fresh carrot
dried banana
nori
dried oak leaves
frozen brine shrimp (thawed)-this was a maybe, will try again
tonight menu:
Fresh coconut
dried carrot powder
peanut butter
fresh apple
cooked prawn in the shell

Re: Fav food of picky crabs?
Mine seem to really like:
Krill, Coconut (fresh), Mealworms (live), Chicken liver (cooked in EVOO), Mango, Greens, Watercress, Cilantro, Walnuts, Berries, Dried apple, Popcorn, Honey, Oats, Sardines (canned), Clams (canned), Safe leaves and flowers, Salmon (raw), Papaya, Eggs, Banana chips, THCP's Mineral Blend, Broccoli (raw).
My PPs are pretty good eaters so there isn't much they won't eat but these are some that they almost always eat. They never seem to touch asparagus or brussel sprouts. I can't think of anything else they've refused over and over, if I do I'll add it.

My standby is pureed fresh blueberries and honey 3 to 1. They will squat over it and dip!

My picky guy's go-to is blueberries, and he's a big fan of fresh over dried.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll have to go shopping for them.
