  1. I used to feed mine diffrent kinds of fruiut and veggies. but you might want to check online about what else they can eat.

    Go to petsmart and get a small bag or hermit crab food. Or break into your cuz's house and get it from there.


  2. You can give them zucchini or small pieces of lettuce. But you really should get some hermit crab food.  

  3. did u check behind the tank or under the table for food?

  4. Hermit Crabs can eat any of the following:

    # mango

    # papaya

    # coconut (fresh or dried)

    # apples

    # applesauce

    # bananas

    # grapes

    # pineapple

    # strawberries

    # melons

    # carrots

    # spinach

    # watercress

    # leafy green lettuces (not iceberg/head lettuce)

    # broccoli

    # Grass

    # leaves and strips of bark from deciduous trees (no conifers)

    # nuts (unsalted nuts)

    # peanut butter (occasionally)

    # raisins

    # seaweed (found in some health food and grocery stores for wrapping sushi)

    # crackers (no or low salt)

    # unsweetened cereals

    # plain rice cakes

    # popcorn (plain, air popped, can be given occasionally)

    # cooked eggs, meats and seafood (in moderation)

    # freeze dried shrimp and plankton (found in the fish food section at the pet store)

    # brine shrimp

    # fish food flakes

    # These should be removed the next day since they are perishable

    # they also enjoy pieces of dry cereal, popcorn and crackers

    # avoid giving them any extremely sugary or salty foods

    # you should NEVER give them meat  

  5. lettuce, a piece of carrot, cornmeal, or even try bread

    Please do not let the crab die!! Good luck
