Hermit Crab Snack Recipes

Omelet: Make an egg omelet with carrots, peppers, tomatoes, corn, peas, and green beans. Avoid cheese or any extra dairy products.

Ocean Fish: Flake some raw fish into a bowl in chunks small enough for your crabs to grab and eat. Add a tablespoon of dried seaweed to the fish and mix until the seaweed is lightly coating all the flakes. Throw in some tiny shrimp, fish eggs, or fish eyes for variety.

Restaurant Scraps: Keep the shells of crabs, shrimp, and lobsters when you visit a nice restaurant. When you get home boil them for a minute to take out any seasonings and then let cool. Place them in the crabitat and let your hermits munch them up.

Seaweed Nori: Seaweed nori is dried seaweed that is used to make sushi. It also makes a fantastic snack for hermit crabs! Place a little bit of a nori sheet in your crabitat for an extra special treat!
Reptile Feed - Live Insects: Meal worms are a great example of a live insect reptile food that hermit crabs adore! Drop a couple in your crabitat and watch your crabbies have fun hunting them down!

Unsalted Dried Nuts:
In the wild hermit crabs will munch on a variety of nuts including macadamia nuts, pistachios, and almonds! Try offering a small handful and let those crabs' claws go to work.
