Zoo Med Creature Soil w/ sand as a substrate? by KyMart

Post by KyMart » Wed Feb 28, 2024 9:38 pm

Hi, guys! I am buying a small 3 gallon tank set for transport reasons for my crabs! It comes with a bag of Zoo Med Creature Soil, is this okay to use with my crabs? Any input is appreciated! Thank you as always!
I have 5 PPs in a 40 gallon breeder!

I would think not - the ingredients include soil, and the word 'proprietary' basically means they made up a mix and don't have to disclose everything that includes.
Is the tank for a temporary transport? How long will they be in transit? Maybe a cooler with some hand warmers (for heat) and some moss (for humidity) would work better?

He will be out of the house for 4.5 hours this time. I don’t plan to use the soil after what you said, sounds sketchy! I plan to use the aquarium sand I already have! Thank you!
