Answer 3

You have a Hermit Crab? Wonderful animals aren't they?

Here is some information that should help you out.

Crabs are scavengers and will eat just about anything. Commercially prepared foods (including our custom blend), green vegetables, fruits, peanut butter. Remove fresh foods daily so they don't rot.
