Must have been something they needed!
My new crabs spent a lot of time munching on the cork bark and the husk of the cocohut I had made from my own coconut. Now they're as picky as everyone else what with all the good food they're getting.
Hope your hard drive is ok!

I think I'll be doing some more food research this weekend, and make a big batch order of food to hold me off for the coming year (hopefully), and make some of my own.
I would guess the same thing about the cholla wood - It's also really funny to see new crabs when they enter the Crabitat from the store, as they always each like they were never fed.

Hard drive still sounds like its dying, but I got everything backed up, so I'm ready for it to die so I can send it in for a replacement :)

Ordering for a year? Please make sure of expiration dates of the foods, majority do have an expiration date. (hard to tell when ordering online)

Here are a couple food references that may help you with making out your menu:

Please remember too when making out the hermies menu, that it is very important that hermies also get fresh foods too for the natural juices and oils they contain.
