Where to find good food/supplies?

Post by kansas »

I usually buy my crab food online, but have not needed to buy any in a long time. I am now needing to order some more, but do not see the website I used to use. Does anyone have suggestions on where I can buy good quality and affordable food/supplies? I have two crabs and really like to give them a variety of foods.

Thanks!

Can't help as I'm in Aus but just thought I'd mention you've posted in the classifieds. You might have more luck in the food related area.

I've heard there are some Etsy shops that offer good crab foods but haven't tried them yet - let's just say that my last purchase at the Hermit Crab Addiction Store was over $100, so that's still going just fine with a little fresh supplementation from time to time. Hopefully someone else can recommend something.

I understand this is an older posting, but thought I would add some of your best foods can be bought at the grocery store, or from your own fridge. One can also freeze the fresh foods in an ice cube tray for future servings. Just thaw them then serve. One can also rotate their diet this way, which is important to ensure they get the vitamins they need, and do not bore with their foods. I began to buy their seaweed, ( sushi party sheets) at WalMart. A heck of a lot less then the pet stores! I just grind it up in the blender for them.

I'm not very active on the forums these days, but I hope folks will remember me for all-natural hermit crab food items. :)
