Gave mine some corned beef for the first time today. I almost never give them seasoned stuff like that. They went NUTS for it. One crab took a chunk, half-buried himself in the sand, and is (I'm guessing) eating underground where others are less likely to bother him. :P

Mango, dandelion greens, and chicken liver (drizzled in evoo and baked). The PPs have already dragged two pieces of the liver from the food dish. :D

Added cantaloupe today. The Es hardly touched a thing but the PPs tore up the cilantro and moved around the banana, chicken liver and I have no idea what they did with the carrot. :lol:

What's on today's menu & recipe sharing

Post by mom23 » Fri Apr 18, 2014 11:10 am

Since I'm going to busy this weekend with all things Easter, I decided to give the crabs their Easter feast today. Hard boiled egg with spirulina on a spinach leaf with mixed bugs on the side. Peach, grapes, yellow squash, orange pepper, walnuts, and fennel seeds sprinkled with coconut crumble (Wode's). Various bark and raspberry leaf with sphagnum sticks. Crushed oyster shell with HCP mineral powder and coral calcium. Most of them haven't seen the feast yet because I just spent 2 hours changing water and cleaning tanks. :)

I've actually got all but 2 up in the big tank so I'm feeding a lot right now! I'll take after pics, if they don't drag it all away, then it becomes a search party. Lol.
