I don’t think it matters. I have the main dish towards the front of the tank and a shell dish in a front corner. I just think it’s easier to get to in mine because of all the stuff I have for hides in the back. I may eventually change it up if and when my two decide to be above ground!

Re: Nightly menu
Mine are in the front of the tank by the wheel. It doesn't really matter I don't think. I try to keep the placement the same every time though. So they know exactly where it is.ApePlanet wrote:Random question: is there a better place to place the food dishes in the tank? Mine is near the water pools.

Re: Nightly menu
So I’m not creative enough to do a pic like ms Ciara lol so I’ll just list what I’m feeding tonight.
In the regular dish:
Dungeness (sp?) crab exo
Fish bone mix (anchovies, red fish & sardines)
Blue cornmeal
Alfalfa
In a shell dish:
Mealworms
Worm castings
And always in another small shell dish I keep a treat, tonight was just honey.

Re: Nightly menu
Here's the remains of last night's meal-
And here's tonight's menu-
I've noticed that since I bought these mixes and added the items, they are eating a lot more! I used to be able to leave food in the tank for 2 or 3 days and they still wouldn't finish it all. Now I'm having to add food every night! I'm glad they're finally eating healthy.

Re: Nightly menu
I’ve noticed my two topsiders eating better too! I was starting to feel bad for nothing fresh (as mentioned before...fruit flies) but I’ve noticed more food missing now. I still don’t have to feed every night because it’s just the 2 but I can definitely see they are eating what I’m putting out so that makes me feel good! Both are much more active at night too.ciaraalston wrote:Here's the remains of last night's meal-

Re: Nightly menu
Hey y'all! So, last night's meal was DEMOLISHED!! they only had a few flowers left, but I had one eating on it so I left it in the tank one more night.
Here's tonight's meal! It's a little skimpy because the crabby meal deal from Hermit Crab Patch has SO MUCH in it that I didnt need to supplement much. I'm making another order in a month so I'll grab a couple more items to add in on the nights that don't have a lot.

Re: Nightly menu
It's some items I bought from Hermies Kitchen that I threw together in a bag. I forget what all is in there. They never really enjoyed the food from Hermies Kitchen..ApePlanet wrote:Was the flowers/color booster a purchased or hand-crafted by you mix?fandt94 wrote:I’ve noticed my two topsiders eating better too!

Re: Nightly menu
So, here's the remains of the last two meals.
They actually ate more than i expected!
They absolutely LOVED this one!!!! Barely anything left!
Now, I was supposed to feed them last night. But a lot happened, so I fed them this morning. I also changed out their calcium dish as well. Here's the kicker, I FOUND NEW FEEDING BOWLS !! I had seen folks use something like this but I could never find them. I FINALLY found them, and in the best spot.......... DOLLAR TREE!!!!! Here's the packaging if anyone wants to check their local dollar tree
And here's the meal-
I can't wait to see how they like the new buffet bowls, and island getaway mix is one they've never tried! I hope they like it! (Who am I kidding? They LOVE literally EVERYTHING from @GotButterflies store)

Re: Nightly menu
I really like the new family style buffet bowls. If I had more room in my tat I’d try that out. Can’t wait for the results! (I feel like Ryan Seacrest saying this) “Dim the lights!”ciaraalston wrote:So, here's the remains of the last two meals.

Re: Nightly menu
I love this!!!!
You have inspired me.... I have been feeding alot of fresh organic foods but don't really see them eating a lot, definitely not like your guys!
I ordered a bunch of mixes from Hermit Crab Patch, I can't hardly wait to offer them a nice variety, like you have done!
Hoping it gets here shortly!!

Re: Nightly menu
Question to all you fantastic people: With such a wide menu, how do you store your crab food and treats. I just know you’ll have some genius ways to share!
