Eggshells

[Moonlightdreams]

We bought eggs for the first time in I don't know how long, and I was thinking about giving the crabs some of the shell, but I'm worried it'll start to smell. What do you all do with your eggshells?

I give them eggshells with some of the raw egg in it. I can leave it in there for 2 days and it won't smell.

I have only ever given egg shells from cooked eggs, so no worry of smell.

I do raw egg shells and leave it in there until I make eggs 2 days later. Whatever the hermits don’t eat the isopods clean up!

I do raw eggshells too, I make sure to thoroughly wash it out, dry it, and then I pop it in the tank. I usually keep it in there for about a week, maybe two. Never dealt with any smells or mold

I always kept eggshells in my tank until they were eaten up or buried in substrate.

I just offered some new eggshells, and I rinsed them off beforehand, only because I wanted to crush and store them.
You can give them freshly cracked egg shells, and leave the whites on the inside, they will actually enjoy eating that!

Question whole eggs shell or big pieces or break them up ??

Any form will do.

I partially crush my shells with my hands, so the crabs get a mixture of both big and little pieces

Their only preference is whichever has the most egg on it!

Raw, boiled, scrambled... Whatever works for you.
