Popcorn. My crabs love nothing more than popcorn. They also seem to really like shrimp (tail on).

I'll second the popcorn, all of mine like popcorn. Mine differ based on size. The big guys will tear apart raw shrimp tails and scrambled eggs. They watch me cook eggs and get all excited because they know they get some, they must smell it while it is cooking. I have to split they eggs so there are at least a piece per crab or there are fights. The little guys are obsessed with worm castings, to the exclusion of everything else or so it seems. The big ones like it too but at least they'll eat other stuff pretty consistently.

And I'll third the popcorn. I put in one piece, all that was left was the kernel. I put in two pieces, and I'm still looking for the leftovers. My hermies also seem to like bits of carrot, and of course frozen shrimp.

Add chicken leg bone marrow! I forgot until I made chicken for dinner and everyone is wild over the cracked open bones. They were not as thrilled by the turkey bones at Thanksgiving but maybe this year. Sometimes mine take a few exposures before they are interested.
