Coconut Flour

Post by AleyedtoBuggie » Mon May 16, 2016 6:04 pm

I didn't see this in the search I tried or on the safe and unsafe foods.

Can the hermies eat organic coconut flour? It's only ingredient is organic coconut.

I am curious to know this too. I use it occasionally, and if I could use it for crab cookies, that would be awesome

I dont have a recipe :/ I was going to experiment. Add things like raisins, sunflowers, and daffodils. We will see how it works out lol.

Just an fyi. Daffodils are toxic to many animals. I don't know for sure about hermit crabs but I definitely wouldn't trial them in a recipe, but rather whole. Though honestly, I wouldnt trial them at all with my crabs.

I didn't mean daffodils xD I keep calling dandelions daffodils for some reason.

I blame this darned medicine they're making me take. They have my brain cells all jacked up... Now I gotta make sure my shopping list that I sent to my man says dandelions not daffodils

Im going to be trying a batch of krill/carrot and sunflower seed /raison (or craison)/dandelion (mot daffodil, haven't taken meds yet) tonight. ^^ I will let you guys know the ratio of ingredients, effects of organic preservatives, and popularity among my little colony. :D hopefully they turn out alright!! Just need some filler and coconut sugar. My man sucks at shopping :P

I use unsulphured coconut flour. Dunno if the sulphur would be a problem or not, but it's what I happen to have since I do a lot of GF baking for myself. I often mix it with honey and spirulina or kelp powder. I also put some coconut flour in the "vacation" mix, which is a mix of dehydrated veggies and meals that a friend feeds to the crabs when I'm out. (Vacation proteins are whatever canister of dried shrimp/bugs he feels like dishing out that day.)

They eat it. They prefer seeds and fresh coconut, of course.
