This product is getting rave reviews on the THCB site and from a few HCA members as well. It's a Crab Patch exclusive;

I got a sample pack from them and I just put some in a bottle lid separate from the main food dish. They don't seem to like it all that much. They barely touched it.

Looking at the reviews, I am very confused now. You should go ahead and try it.

My crabs love this stuff. I feed it alone and mixed into dry kibble. My crabs will eat other types of supplements (whole cuttlebone, manu mineral block, bucket & pail) but they go crazy for THCP's mineral powder.

Mine seem to really like it. They've eaten more of it than their regular food the past couple of nights.

I just got a sample from the Crabbage Patch. All of my crabs, who are finicky eaters, just scarfed it up. But yesterday I posted in the emergency section. I was finding nothing but white poop in the two tanks and I got really worried. The only new food I had given them was this supplement

B & S's Mom said it was from this new supplement. Any one else have a tat full of white poop?

I did, but I didn't think anything of it. I thought someone had been chowing down on cuttlebone.

My hermits are raving about it too.

They will sit in the dish for hours and hours eating it. I just ordered some more for them, I have a feeling I will be using a lot of it.

I was asked to provide a review and all I can say is the stuff is amazing. I first got it as a free sample, which I suggest others should do, and my crabbies all just parked in it for days. I have all PP's so I don't know how other species react, but I can tell you that mine especially love it if they have been down for awhile. I used to keep whole cuttle bones in my tat and they would park on those, now those are lonely. I have two crabs in particular that sit in the dish eat and poop, they won't even leave to go potty. I used to keep this supplement in a flat shell and now I have to put it in a dish so the crabs don't fight over space. Their color and energy level is great. I highly recommend this supplement.

Looks like a hit with all the crabbies. Does anyone know exactly what's in it? I want to try and make it myself since the $19.00 shipping to Canada is a bit much.

Pierced Angel, I've ordered from them a couple times. If you ask about it they drop the 19$ shipping. I'm 4 hrs. north of you. I think my orders have been around 9$ shipping. They're awesome.

Yes, I too got my 'teaser' sample of the Natural Mineral Supplement in my last order. It took less than a week before I was totally out of it.

I went over to the Hermit Crab Patch last Saturday and got an 8 ounce bag of the stuff. Tammy said the minerals and trace elements are what the crabs get in the wild. But it's proprietary information and believe me, she's giving the formula out to nobody.

Yup! My guys absolutely love the stuff! White poop everywhere! At least it is easy for me to clean up since I use EE.
