I'm thinking about making a chia/flax seed carpet in some spots of my crabitat for the crabbies to snack on and to add some color to my tank. Has anyone had any problems with feeding chia or flax sprouts to your crabs? ImageImageImageImage

Thanks, I am not sure that I could put that in a ten gallon crabitat but I might.

Maybe once they sprout you could separate it into smaller chunks?

That's a great idea I might be able to do that, and I am sure that my three hermies would love it!

Thanks for the link! Did you have to get the seeds specifically from a garden store, or would the ones sold in like Bulk Barn sprout do you think?

I'm not exactly sure lol I bought some from whole foods so I guess I'll know in a day or two if they start to sprout
