Vitamin supplements

Post by Panther_Shadow83 »

What vitamins should be supplemented in a hermie's diet? Is it OK to add a calcium supplement in their water just in case?

Calcium added to water is a popular way of getting extra calcium into your hermit crabs' diet, so that is fine. Also feed them meat and eggs for protein. Don't forget the fruits and veggies.

Do you have any brands you would recommend for the supplement?

Sadly, I don't live in USA so I wouldn't be sure. Hermit crabs get their vitamins best from organic food, since it's more 'natural' I guess.
