Pet hermit crabs?

Question

i have a hermit crab and it likes to eat small dried up star fish is that good or bad for him??

Answer 1

well i have hermit crabs and i have never tried that     but i do know they like this hermitcrab food i get from the pet store  and they also like rice crispies

Answer 2

It is fine for him...he is probably looking for calcium. You can also feed him baby shrimp or the ends of shrimp if you eat them.

Hermit crabs can eat a very wide variety of thing, they are by nature scavengers.

Answer 3

Is that bad for them? Ha! That is what gives the crab calcium. Its GREAT for them! Keep in mind, dont feed them too much of one thing, they like a whole variety. Heres just a few:

Fish head, tomato, papayas, dried shrimp, dead mealworm, banana, apple, pear, corn chips, lettuce, celery, carrot, peanut butter, steak, lobster, non-buttered popcorn, chicken, crushed chicken bone.

Answer 4

that should be good for him beacuse hermit crabs are a ocean animal and they eat stuff like starfish and things on the bank
