Hermit Crab Patch Food

I'd like to start buying organic premade food. Is the hermit crab patch good food? What's the best kind to get?
Thanks!

I've never ordered from them, but I know crabbers who do and love it.

I use a sample pack from crabvilla on Etsy

Idk if that link will work because I think they stopped doing the sample packs but either way my crabs love their food

I have bought from The Hermit Crab Patch multiple times! The foods listed on their website all have reviews by other crabbers which is how I usually decide on what to buy! I just bought the wings n' things food mix as well as the red white n' blueberries one! I am trying them out tonight and I will let you know if the crabs like them!

Crabs love both the mixes! Also love the mineral supplement powder I got too!

I'll have to give them a try! I've got 6 hungry little buggers that need variety.

I just received an order from them for the first time! I got the sampler, the red white n blue berries, and the sweet claw popcorn. I gave my crabs a little of the popcorn and the berry mix along with some fresh veggies and, within 30 mins, one of them emerged from hiding and had eaten most of Hermit Crab Patch food lol. I'm thinking it'll definitely be gone by morning and, at that rate, I'll be ordering again soon!

These look mostly like supplements, are there any staples I should consider?

The sampler came with Surf N Turf and then I added their Basic Diet. Surf N Turf has been all gone in the morning both times I've offered it so far. I've only put out Basic Diet once and they ate some of it but it wasn't as popular.

Last night I ordered from them. Basic diet, calcium supplement, and a berry popcorn. Can't wait to get it to see if my crabs like it. I stopped using the dried shrimp I've been giving them. They haven't touched it and it smelled terrible. Been giving them fresh fruits, veggies, and peanut butter, but I feel like I should be giving them something more. The basic diet food looked good and so did the popcorn.

The food from Hermit Crab Patch came a couple of days ago. Mine seem to like the basic diet (it was scattered everywhere the next morning) and love the popcorn mix (it was pretty much gone).

Mine really really love the worm castings.
