Is FMR food really that bad?

Post by Guest » Thu Mar 16, 2006 11:12 pm

Mine was getting one dish dry FMR food, one dish dry flower and fruit hermit crab food, one dish with fresh food: frozen mix of corn, broccoli, red pepper defrosted with some fresh pineapple. I will instantly remove the FMR food...is it really that bad for them? Yesterday they had cooked shrimp on a bed of lettuce and avocado. I always gave the dry foods separately along with my fresh food, but after reading this maybe I should stop.

What we had for dinner... hehe... and a little added...

(I used dechlor sea salt water for all their stuff... I just separated out a little bit before I made up ours and then did the crabbies dinner separate at the end.)

boiled cod (SORRY Bundy! :lol: )
steamed corn
boiled potatoes (we had mashed potatoes...)
sprinkled with Epicurean kibble
sprinkled with a dry kibble I mixed up (lots of cuttlebone)

Took all of 5 min to have 3 E's stuffing their little faces. Then as I was walking away 2 PP's came over and pushed the E's out. Hehe... I have two dishes in there... dunno WHY they insist on fighting over one. :scratch:

I wanted a lot of fresh foods in the mix tonight because I’m going on vacation for a few days, so here’s what they got:

Salmon, silversides, krill, apple, scrambled egg with spirulina, green peppers, sunflower sprouts, papaya, crushed hemp seeds, crushed flax seeds and sea salt.

I put it all into a jar, shook it up together and put it into the food dish. It smells awful, it looks awful…so of course the crabs love it.

I can't speak for Laura, but I found one at our Petco (ours is green). That's in the states though. :(

Hang on one minute...here we go!

I don't know if they ship internationally, but maybe this'll help you locate a similar product?

EDIT: Heh...great minds and all that! :) You were just a smidge quicker with the "linky" stuff.
