Hermit crab not eating much

[OopsieDaisies008]

Hi, new member here! I’ve had my hermit crabs for about a month now, but it doesn’t seem like they’re eating enough? I put out new food for them every night (complete meals and foraging mixes from Etsy sellers), but it really doesn’t look like any of it is being eaten. Are my crabs sick? How much food do small ones typically consume in a day? They get better menus than I do most days, so I’m a little worried. Thanks.
(P.S I’m following all of the guidelines regarding tank, substrate, temp, humidity, etc. This site has been very educational and I am so grateful!)

I swear that for the first few years I had my crabs, the only way I knew they were eating is because they didn't die. Oh, and there was poop. It seemed like I put in and took out the same food every time. When they are small, they eat so little that you may not notice. Keep offering a variety of foods, and they will take what they need.
Also, if you are offering dried foods, you don't have to replace it daily. I leave dried food in the tank until it starts getting moldy, then I change it out LOL.

Thank you so much! I feel a little bit of relief now. Also thanks for the tip about the dried food
