Tulips?

Post by HermitCrabAddicted » Mon Apr 17, 2017 2:55 pm

I received some tulips on Easter, and I saw they are on the safe list to give on here, but I have also read where people say they are dangerous to give to hermit crabs. I was going to give them some once they start wilting, but thought I should ask just to be sure.

Thanks!

If you do not know where or how they were grown, do not feed them to the crabs. Plant foods/fertilizers/pesticides may have been used on the commercial crops for sale.

You can make it organic over the next 3-4 months if you switch out the soil and use earthworm castings and bat guano as fertilizer
