What's on today's menu & recipe sharing ~2011~

Great meals. folks! They're so tasty sounding I'm getting hungry!


Honestly folks, I've been busting my tailbone creating these gourmet meals for the crabbies, and I really don't notice that they eat anything except banana, coconut, peanut butter, and popcorn. :roll:

They ignore the pinky mice, the dried crickets, the fresh cricket, the bloodworms, the mealworms, the salmon, the fresh and dried shrimp...

So, I ordered a bunch of stuff from the Hermit Crab Patch and SueBee; hopefully my picky little E's won't turn their dainty noses up at it.

So I just received my humongous order from the hermit crab addiction store (waayyyy overdid it... hehe) and was so excited because they already ate some! I have some picky crabs that are still getting over PPS probably. But anyways, in my main small dish I keep hermit crab variety bites, spiruline brine shrimps, freeze died krill, cuttle bone, and crushed oyster shells.


I set up my pill holder again with the new stuff, so I could see what they liked!

-balanced food mix (ate lots!)
-build a mix- anchovies, cranberry, lentils, maple/oak leaves, millet seed, and red clover (ate lots!)
-millet puff (put in two and one was gone this morning!) and 1 hamburger chunk (edit: gone this evening!)
-bee pollen
-soy protein powder
-tomato square and triple peeper bits
-apple pieces and pink rose

I was so excited that I could tell that they ate food! yea!

The crab LOVED the strawberries and fruit treats! There was three gathered around it at one point and there were only 3 berries remaining this morning! (I put 7 very small wild strawberries in.)

For a staple I have freeze-dried shrimp, veggie fish flakes (with spirulina and other kelp/algae), worm castings, freeze-dried bloodworms, and some other mixed foods (I forget what they were. xD). I keep it in a small dish (looking for a smaller one, though) in their tank and store it in a zip-lock bag.

Today's fresh food: Steamed (cooled) broccoli drizzled with toasted sesame oil with ground up veggie fish flakes (mentioned above) on top. The non-molters all came out and ate some already, so I'm impressed. Sesame Oil definitely is an appetite enhancer, as mentioned.

Jackie's Hermie Omlette

1 egg, whisked
1 egg shell, crushed and whisked in with egg
1 tsp pumpkin seeds
1/2 tsp sunflower seeds

Pour the egg into a small non-stick frying pan. Once it starts to set add the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Flip like you would a regular omlette, let it cool then serve. My babies love it.
