I would be very careful of flowers raised to be given in bouquets, because they will have been treated with something at some time in their life to keep them beautiful.*Kathy* wrote:Is it safe to offer them roses from the florist? When people at work get flowers, I am always tempted to take a few home to the crabs, but I am afraid that they might be treated in some way.
The best flowers are ones you've grown yourself, or someone you know has grown, that are chemical free. Or, if you're lucky enough to have an organic florist, supermarket (that sells flowers) or farmer's market near you, those are good places to find chemical-free flowers. You can also get dried flowers from health food stores or from places online like Mountain Rose Herbs.

I'm also looking into providing smaller packages of the more coveted crab food items, like rose petals and red clover.

Dish 1: Scrambled eggs cooked in EVOO, Hardboiled egg cut in half with shell attached, cut peices of cooked pork, accented with strawberry leaves.
Dish 2: Krill. (Yeah real original I know)
They showed only moderate interest in the shrimp last time. Someone did drag one of them out of the food bowl and picked at the insides a bit, but thats about all.
