| FRESH FOODS
Fresh foods should be offered to hermit crabs so they can have enough vitamins, etc. Commercial foods don't give them enough. You should probably switch to commercial food, because you never know what it has in it that can hurt your hermit crabs. Remember, the bad ingredient list on this page is probably NOT all of the bad ingredients commercial food has. To see what hermit crabs can eat, go to Epicurean Hermit |
