would hermit crabs like poi?

Post by crazycrabber » Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:02 am

i used to live in hawaii! i was wondering if anybody knew if hermit crabs would like poi. if you don't know what it is, it is taro, a root grown in hawaii, and i think it is isn't very much processed. just look up poi if you don't know, and then once somebody finds out if it okay, please let me.
experience comes from this: Harvey (tarantula), flanders (cat), 2 pp hermit crabs, (marshawn pinch, and richard shermit), smallstress house hamster(hamster), baron purplemoon (fish).

I've done quite a bit of research on poi and it seems to be safe enough though it is a high source of starch which when metabolized turns to sugar which is not so good for hermits.If you want to offer it you can do it once in a while like every couple of months because its not really loaded with enough nutrients to be beneficial to hermitcrabs.
