fishing bait?

[kpb777]

I realized that my hermit crabs seem to respond better to smellier foods and treats. Does anyone know if it'd b safe to feed hermits stink bait or crappie nibbles? I haven't tried feeding my crabs anything like this yet and it was just a random idea, but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions about the topic can you please comment?

I don't think the stink bait, generally used for catching catfish, is safe. I know they use a lot of junk in fish making bait & lures. Plus the smell, ugh, its worse than rotting fish!LOL! And the crappie nibbles look synthetic, not sure if more than one company makes them but Berkley Gulp makes them and from what I've read they will not release an ingredients list because it is "proprietary information" Ummmm, scary! I would hate to use it to catch a fish that I would eat

He's probably attracted to the strong smell. I wouldn't give it to them. Like everyone else said, you don't know what goes in it...

yeah im not letting him near the stuff, i gave him some unsalted and unbuttered popcorn as a snack after i put the bait up.
