This is good but you should give your hermit crab a little variety. If they don t eat the hermit crab diet and you provide no other sources of nutrition, they will die. A basic vegetarian diet should please and nourish the colony. It should be a mixture of corn meal, oats and chopped fruit, all held together by peanut butter. Peanut butter is a favorite among hermit crabs.
Hermit crabs prefer fruit such as apples.
You want to avoid feeding them bread because it can clog their gills and suffocate them. Also avoid feeding meat products because they can spoil and cause bacteria to occur within the terrarium You should feed the crabs out of a dish very shallow much like the water dish. Some pet stores provide feeder shells to feed the crabs out of and when a crab eats out of them they will ingest calcium from the shells. You should remove any uneaten food each day so that it doesn t spoil. A hermit crab's molting period, the time in which it looks for a new shell, is important.
