Found a new food for my hermies, they love it!

Post by Kharasmatic » Fri Jul 18, 2014 9:53 am

I don't feed commercial hermit crab food, I usually feed a mix of freeze dried bloodworms, freeze dried shrimp, and freeze dried fruits, as well as fresh fruits and veggies and the occasional treat. I just found this new thing that I have been feeding them and they LOVE it, literally run to the food dish for it. It's freeze dried omnivore mix from petsmart in the reptile aisle. Basically a mix of freeze dried veggies, fruit, mealworms, etc. They gobble it down! The ingredients seem legit, and it's great when I'm busy and don't have time to prepare a special meal for them. They still feel spoiled, and it's pretty good for them too!

made sure that there isn't any ethyoxquin, or copper sulfate?

Of course, just freeze dried fruits, crickets, mealworms, and veggies

I went to Petsmart today and found this food you are talking about, and it looks like good stuff. Can't wait to try it on my hermies, I'm sure they'll love it!
