HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Does anyone know what to feed fiddler crabs?

"In the wild fiddler crabs are scavengers, eating bits of organic matter they find in the sand/mud. In captivity, they can be fed sinking crab food, fish food meant for scavengers (sinking tablets, shrimp pellets, etc), and freeze dried plankton and shrimp. "

hope this helps you. Good luck with he fiddlers! I know they sell them at petsmart so you should be able to get something to feed them there.

I feed my fids what I feed my hermies since they live together...shrimp krill..blood worms..fruit, every now and then I throw in an algae chip that snails eat in the salt pool and they chow on that for a while











they even eat peanut butter..they all seem to be happy and healthy and I have had both females have sponges twice each and they eat eggs

Thats what I fed mine too when I had them (they didnt do so well when we moved )

Mine loved bananas and silversides YUM!

Thank you for your help. I was getting as much information about them before I purchased them.
