Very cool. mine don't seem to like freeze dried food. I'm not 100% sure of course, but I don't think they're eating it

That is a shame. There are so many freeze-dried options out there.

Maybe I just need to try a different variety then. I'll check them out :)

No problem! I know some cuttlebone comes with a little metal attachment (probably for the birdcage), but I break off the top and bottom of the cuttlebone to use for the crabs and toss the metal because I've read metal is bad for hermit crabs. If you've already heard this, sorry to repeat, but I wanted to mention it just in case. :)
Yeah, the metal part on the cuttlebone was kind of the final thing that made me say, ummmm....ill just hold off for now lol. I may go back and get some though. Its funny how that one little thing is not something I am alone in regarding the cuttle bone at petco. I have read that metal is bad for them too, but never hurts to have a reminder :) :laugh::

You remove the metal part from the cuttlebone :)
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com
