Monterey Bay Spice Co. *UPDATED with pics*

Post by CrabbieLover1031:D » Mon Jun 11, 2012 11:11 am

www.herbco.com is the website. Click on the "Shop" tab. I bought from them, and I find they are MUCH cheaper than Mountain Rose Herbs. They have a great selection of herbs and spices, and odd things that the crabs love that you can't find in stores like Chickweed and Bee Pollen granules for extremely cheap! 0.3 ounces of bee pollen is $1.00 on Hermit Crab Addiction, but for 4 ounces of bee pollen on MBSC is only $3.17! Awesome! Great website for crabbers wanting to purchase a lot! Shipping is very cheap too! I placed an order yesterday, and was very pleased with their ordering process and confirmation. Once I get my order I will edit this as a followup and add some pics as well. Can't wait for my order to get here! Got an email today that it was shipped out!UPDATE: Got my order! Was EXTREMELY PLEASED! Everything was larger than I expected it would be, which makes the price even better! Here are some pics! The whole album can be found here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/6...s/72157630060752889/ Wooo! by Hermitcrablover1031, on FlickrHand Comparison: Untitled by Hermitcrablover1031, on Flickr Untitled by Hermitcrablover1031, on Flickr

Question...When you compared them to MRH did you compare price and selection and organic to organic?All of MRH's inventory is organic. I noticed that MBSC sells both.

MBSC is cheaper even in Organic. I did a test with Chickweed. On MRH, Chickweed is $2.75 per 1/4 pound and on MBSC is only $1.30 .

Good to know! Thanks for the information. I only feed my gang organic or wild harvested.

Anyone reading this, I recommend getting the chamomile flowers. My shyer crabs LOVED them, I found chamomile flowers all over my tank this morning!

I noticed that MBSC sells both. Wait wait wait I miscalculated!!!! Organic is cheaper on MRH, but on MBSC the herbs not organic are cheaper than organic. On MBSC they are only like 50 cents more expensive though. Also, just because they aren't certified as organic doesn't mean that they aren't. Also, when pesticides are sprayed on the flowers, and then the flowers dry, wouldn't the pesticides "dry out"? I don't know...
