For some reason mine could care less about popcorn. Last night they ate a serious amount of tuna and left the popcorn behind!

Two nights ago I filled their busy boxes (curiosity cubes from another seller because they where closed at the time : () and they have since emptied them, leaving popcorn above ground in a trail from the food dish, to the cubes, to the water dishes, they have been eaten off of, but they definitely still have a ways to go! They definitely like getting the popcorn out of the cubes! Hmm now I kind of want a fully mesh cube for smaller foods or maybe just foods I want to keep contained, would that work?
I have 5 PPs in a 40 gallon breeder!

That's crazy lol! Do you flavor your popcorn with anything?

I tried whole crickets once, and they did pick at them. Didn't go as crazy as with the popcorn though. Image

Sometimes I have and sometimes I haven't, but they only ever nibble at it.

These flavors look interesting! I haven't tried them with my crabs yet, but others say that theirs like it!
