There was already a heated discussion in this topic:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3047

Since you haven't had hermit crabs for long, I would advise that you don't get straws for the time being. They are a lot more difficult to take care of than other species.

Also, to find out even more than what was discussed there, you can use the search feature and just put in the word Strawberry. :) It's up in the right hand corner of the page. :D
6 hermit crabs - 3 PPs and 3 Equadorians

*scratches head*
I know I merged jdude0u812 post earlier today, but appears it has been 'split' from where I merged it? I also did a pm to tell jdude0u812 where it was... :S

Oh, I was the one who split it again, Marie. I didn't know that you had merged it earlier.

I think it's best to refrain from merging topics started by different people. It makes things less confusing for everyone. Just reply to their thread with a link to a similar thread started earlier.

Wai: "I think it's best to refrain from merging topics started by different people. It makes things less confusing for everyone."
No problem if that is the way you'd like it. I noticed that when new topics are made that one is not alerted by e-mail as they are if they have already replied to a post. By being alerted by e-mail sometimes one may also go directly to the post to add more info...
