Fruits and nuts?

Post by JenniferRallison » Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:50 am

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!

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

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.
