Green Tea question

Post by Melissa21 » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:37 pm

So I bought some Carrington Tea. Green Tea all natural 100% tea leaves and fed it to my crabs. Ingredients say green tea leaves. no artificial colors or additives. One kinda went a little crazy for it. And now someone is saying I should ONLY give decaf teas. So now I am super worried because I had 4 crabs possibly eat it. Does it have to be decaf? Will my crab(s) be ok?

Check out this thread: http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/ ... 36&t=75494.

I've stuck to crab safe herbal tea leaves. I see others have offered green tea before though (in that thread and others - I searched "tea"). I think they'll be fine.

Yeah I did search the group for green tea and read what was posted. Just didn't find anything specific really about it. I think I am just going to stick with camomile and hibiscus and things like that.

Tea leaves have naturally occurring caffeine so decaf will still have some.
