Omg both of those are such good ideas! My 3 are all going bonkers over the fresh honey I put in They're secretly bees I swear

Oh yeah mine love honey! I got comb honey from a local Amish farm this past summer and I put a chunk of the comb in there for them. They sit on top of the comb and get the honey out. They adore that. And it's less messy for me than dealing with it in liquid form lol

Ooo the comb! Wish we had an Amish farm around here! Isn't it wax though? Didn't think that was edible

Lol they don't eat the wax. Just get the honey out and leave the comb behind. Same with people

Plain boiled white rice and super dry crispy leaves are the two top foods in Krabbyville.

Gaby i think its oak bc theres acorn nearby. And the leaf is scalloped. I would take a pic but it's such a pain uploading pics via a 3rd party

I've discovered a favourite of Vegeta's today - a 'crab salad'! Its mixed greens with pollen & seaweed bits, a little dry crumbled shrimp on top, with bits of apple and sugar beets, and a cod-liver oil dressing drizzled over top. 'Jeets usually isn't about at this time of day... but this recipe brought him scurrying out.


Also put out raw and cooked sole today, to see if there's an obvious preference.

EDIT: they ignored both cooked and raw sole completely for two days. They only ate the salad.

Lol cool! There will be plenty of oak leaves to give them once I move to Savannah, but right now all there is is palm

That sounds delicious! Might have to try that soon

Hey, collect some palm leaves, dry & store them - palm leaves are part of the leaf litter in crabby places.. . Try including a bit in your tat! (Maybe bake first to eliminate potential insect eggs.)

Omg you're right! I didn't even think about that! Perfect timing too, 'cause we just got some of the trees cut down to build a pool so there's leaves literally everywhere!

They are like kids....When it comes to food

Except they don't cry and whine all the time

They might... but their voices are to tiny to hear it As much as we peer in at them and move their stuff around, I think it's best we don't hear them! I have one crab that stands with a dead stare every time I move the water pools to fill them. She isn't afraid of me. It's more like she's worried I'm going to find something... like her diary!

Ahaha you're so right, Janet is like that too, she's gotta be a honey badger, it's the only way to explain how much she just doesn't care Maybe she's hiding something under those pools
