HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I’m looking to get my hermits some good food mix that includes nuts and dried fruits but I can’t seem to find any that don’t have sugar and/or salt in the ingredients listed, at least without completely breaking the bank. Can any one tell me where I can find the right kinds? What do you feed your crabs when it comes to fruits and nuts? How important is the sugar and salt levels in these foods? Any recommendations or brands ?

You can get organic nuts. A couple ounces can last a very long time. As for dried fruit, also look for organic with no added ingredients.

You can find what HG is referring to, and it definately won't be cheap!

Thanks for the advice I actually find freeze dried fruit chips of strawberries peaches pears and bananes with no salt or sugar or additives at family dollar!!! Super happy especially since the ingredients listed was literally just the fruit and nothing’s else! Each bag was $1!!!!!

Yes! Some have sugar, so have to check them all but dollar tree has them.

An ounce or so of organic nuts cost less than a dollar at the supermarket.

Oooohhhhh.....sorry! I forget that those kinds of things are much cheaper in the US than here in Canada!

Same. I know location data is available in their profiles if they choose to share it, but I still feel like a creep looking at it.
