I think I found a hit recipe

I think I found a recipe that is a hit, well at least with the one Hermie that I know is coming up at night. Put about a 1/2 teaspoon down last night and this morning it was gone. Tonight I am trying the recipe with Coconut Oil and Honey added to a paste like consistency
Right now I am calling it Taggart's Burgoo after both the Hermit Crab I know that liked it and Burgoo after the Kentucky Burgoo (a thick multi-meat and vegetable stew that supposedly originally started off as a thick oatmeal porridge eaten by sailors in the 17th century)
2 Tablespoon - Crickets, Freeze Dried
2 Tablespoon - Mealworm, Freeze Dried
2 Tablespoon - River Shrimp, Freeze Dried
2 teaspoon - Rolled Oats
1 teaspoon - Long Grain rice
1 teaspoon - Wheat Berries
1 teaspoon - Quinoa
1 teaspoon - Flax seed
2 teaspoons - Bee Pollen
2 teaspoon - Chia
1/2 teaspoon - Hermit Crab Patch Mineral Supplement
2 teaspoon - Hard Boiled egg shells, crushed
Put the Mealworm, Shrimp, Cricket and egg shells into coffee grinder or food processor, and pulse until a it is a course mixture. (referred to as Protein Mix henceforth in the recipe)
Set this protein mix aside in a sealable
Put oats, wheat, rice, quinoa, bee pollen and flax into grinder and pulse until it is a tad finer then the protein mix. (referred to as grain mix henceforth)
Pour grain mix into container with protein mix.
Add Chia and Mineral supplement to mixture and seal container.
Shake container to fully mix everything together.
Store in air tight container in a cool location out of direct bright light
Serve to Hermits. Can garnish with fresh or dried fruit pieces, or even mix a small amount of warmed coconut oil and honey so that it is a paste.
I imagine that the coconut oil and honey paste mix can be frozen for storage.
In addition to the Coconut oil and honey paste mix I am thinking of in a couple days putting a small amount of powdered Carolina Reaper Pepper over the mix, as I know the one crab that I know is coming up likes Carolina Reapers as it ate all of the small amount I had previously put out.
