Awesome! I got a big container from petco. It saves $$ in the long run

Yeah, I have some wild flowers in the alfalfa hay mix I found. I have to take them out though because if they get wet, they start to mold after a few days. But my crabs love them!

No pics but in a large shell dish I consider more of every night Staples now.. Worm castings, green sand, mealworms. In the normal dish, surf n turf mix, cracked corn, another basic diet mix, and then a dessert of coconut, honey and a fruit mix

I've got green sand in my cart for next order

@GotButterflies, do you keep it as a staple in the tank or occasional?

I bought the green sand on a whim with my first order and rarely used it... I'm definitely putting it in there more often. Maybe not every night but it's going to be available more often I think. Seems to be a go to... For mine at least

I keep greensand in all the time. I keep in in with my calcium dish. (I have a dish for this)
I also keep worm castings in all of the time.

(I have a dish for this)

I feed my crabs in individual shells

So here's the after math of the last meal I posted:

They didn't seem to like the cracked freekeh as much. And the wild salmon wasn't a total hit, but they did eat some so I'm excited about that. I left this meal in for 2 days to make sure they got all they wanted.

Here's tonight's meal:

Note: I have a dish with worm castings, calcium powders, and oyster shells in the tank at all times. But when it needs changing/cleaning and I'm busy, I just add enough for the night to their meal and wash the dish and add it back to the tank the next morning when I get home from work.

Thanks for being patient!

I get the honey coral calcium powder from the hermit crab patch, they love it!
Oyster shells and other calcium powders you can get from TheHealthyHermit on etsy! That's where all this food came from

So, they didn't like the cochneal. Didn't touch it. But they enjoyed everything else it looks like. Especially the popcorn mixes from THCP! Those are treats mostly haha

Here's tonight's meal-

Raspberry ice cream treat: fresh organic raspberries, honey, and calcium powder. Grind it up and freeze.

This is the last meal in the rotation!! I hope that y'all enjoyed this thread and that it helped out with a review of my order from the healthy hermit but also gave food ideas!!

Wow - cochineal disappears in my tank! Put it in your calcium dish - just don't throw it away!

Awesome! I'm glad I can reuse it, hopefully they come around to it later
