A Holiday Feast for Hermit Crabs

***REMEMBER NO SEASONINGS OR ADDED SUGAR***

Safe to feed:

  • Turkey raw or cooked
    • Save the neck and giblet bag for the crabs
  • Turkey bones
    • Crack them open so they can get at the marrow.
  • Potatoes
    • No eyes or green parts raw or cooked.
  • Veggies raw or cooked *no onions or garlic*
  • Dark Leafy Greens must be cooked first.
  • Nuts ground, whole, chunks.
  • Fruits
    • Sour fruit will not be eaten (for example: they will not eat like lemon)
  • Oils pure and cold pressed are best
  • Herbs
    • No Rosemary evergreen family. If you brine or injected with rosemary or rosemary oils compound butters etc could have absorbed to bones which is not a good idea and crabs may be repelled.

Remember you can freeze the leftovers too or dehydrate for later. If they do not like it one way they may like it another: dehydrated, re-hydrated, ground, whole, sliced, fresh, thawed later, softened, chunks etc.

What’s for dinner? A hermit crab food guide!
