Opinions On Mineral Block

[CaptainCraboo]

I am going away for a period of time and to make it easiest for my crabs temporary care taker I was thinking about purchasing Zoomed hermit crab mineral blocks. Any opinions on if this is a good food for hermies?

Well, there are some additives that can potentially be harmful long term. And some people would not use it because of that.
That said, it is probably not going to be harmful if only used short term. If you want to avoid additives/ preservatives, and if you have time before you go, you could consider ordering a basic mix of dry food.

Not sure how long you are going to be away for, but I have left my crabs for a week at a time with dry food not being changed out. It's fuzzy and moldy when I get back, but that's okay with the crabs.

I’m not a fan of American fish meal. Low quality stuff with hidden synthetic preservatives.
