HCA: Hermit Crab Association

One of my recommended items on Etsy was a bag of blue crab exoskeleton. I didn't see it on the safe foods list but the seller says on the listing that their hermies love it. It says wild caught in Louisiana and the exoskeleton was boiled then baked to dry - is it safe for my guys?

On a side note I ordered a bag of buffalo poop for them last night. I literally bought crap

It's safe and a good source of calcium (:

Thanks! I went ahead and got it because it was the last one. I was about 75% sure it was okay but wanted reassurance. I was a bit hesitant because the the store had 0 sales and only 2 items available - the blue crab exo and a mix called "carrot cake" which was carrots and ground up brown egg shells. I bought both lol

Hi! That's my listing and I asked here before making it! Thanks for your purchase. I have 9 crabs and am very particular about what I feed them

Also! My shop name is BeyondTheShell and I'm testing new blends all the time. (With cute names lol) strawberry kiwi didn't go over to well. But I'll be adding shells to my shop soon

I thought I had seen someone mention it on here before when I was scrolling through but wasn't 100% sure. I ordered it then asked - saw it was the only one and didn't want to miss out lol! I'm constantly learning new things about them and what they can and can't have. I think it should be delivered today and they will be getting some tonight in their calcium dish. I'll let you know how they like it
