So yesterday I made my hermit crabs some little cookies for when I go on a short holiday and they turned out great I added two small spoons of organic peanut butter and one small spoonful of organic wild flower honey along with chia seeds my organic food mix , worm castings and a little bit of water and then rolled them into balls. I have left them in the sun so that they harden but so far they seem to be working

Once they harden a little bit, I'm going to test them out

We have gone away on vacations for 7-10 days at a time. I made sure both pools had clean water. I also sprinkled plenty of leaf litter, chia seeds and crushed oyster shell along the sub. I made up a dish of dried foods (protein mixed with dried flowers and dried fruits and veggies ) and I, Out of habit, leave it by the UTH.

Also, I'd leave it in on of the dryer areas in the tank. Once I left it in next to my pools and moss and by the time I came back, my food dish looked like a hamster
