HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Well, they barely touched the cantaloupe. I'm trying it again in a few days though.

Tonight they are having dried mealworms, a small piece of boiled chicken, blackberries, spinach, and seaweed monster. The chicken has already been hidden somewhere.

Raw chicken, ground up almonds, cantaloupe, celery tops, and dried shrimp.

It's my first time feeding them cantaloupe so it'll be interesting to see how it goes over.

Tonight they are dining on dried mealworms, broccoli, strawberry, mineral supplement, and dried clover.

Been a long time since I've posted on this thread.

Tonight's meal consists of: dried shrimp, worm castings, kale, mushed-up homegrown raspberries, and organic almond butter.

Tonight my crabs are dining on raw beef, raw chicken, strawberry tops, dried veggie meal, THCP mineral supplement, and worm castings. All spinkled with calcium.

Last nights meal was peanut butter, wheat germ, oats, raisins, dried veggie meal, crushed eggshells, worm castings, calcium supplement, and dried pink rose petals.

Yummy, yes?

Yes! I bought my beardie a food mix of dried meal worms, cricket, and grasshoppers. She won't touch the stuff (likes her live food better) so I give the crabs a couple of bugs every night and they always drag them out and hide them throughout the 'tat. It is so cute, and a great protein source.

To elaborate on what the others mentioned above: I had a straw die shortly after getting it, and I allowed the others to eat the dead crab, since it has no smell. And about a week or two later alot of my crabs were dying. It was really upsetting, so I would make sure they weren't feasting on the dea...

Beautiful crabbies

Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful names, btw.

Oooh la la! Beautiful exotics, love the pink Indo! And your Violas are adorable as well. Wonderful.

Very cute Kili. Beautiful Viola.

Dish one:
Collard greens boiled in saltwater, with "Shrimp Feast" sprinkled on top

Dish two:
"Sick Crab Smoothie" with honey, peaches and blueberries, and then my own secret ingredient kibble...

it's only a secret because I have no idea what I put in it!

Tonight's dish is scrambled eggs, which was scrambled with the eggshell and some shredded carrots.

And the 40B got a real treat, they got the remainder of the entire carrot which wasn't shredded! They're all sitting on it clawing at it.
