Answer 2

Hermit crabs will eat anything. It's easier to mention things they shouldn't have.

Ever green wood can be toxic to them so avoid that sort of thing

You don't want anything contaning table salt

Avoid sauces and seasonings when feeding meats to a crab

You shouldn't feed them anything too starchy. They don't really need it and bread products tend to mould fast.

Avoid anything with lots of preservatives. ( commercially avaliable hermit crab food for example)

They love fruits and veggy scraps, egg shells, natural peanut butter, fish, meats, and cuttle bone.

When feeding meats only let them have it for a short period of time.
