Are aloe vera safe for crabs to climb on and eat? I grow Aloe all the time and right now i have way to many so i was wondering if the crabs could use them as a climbing toy. I did do a search on here and nothing realy came up that could help.

Re: Aloe Vera??

(see the list under the edible list) It is stated not to feed the Aloe Vera.

Re: Aloe Vera??
Ya i figured it was toxic to crabs after i did some more research and it turns out if consumed in large doses it can be toxic to humans. Well then insted of giveing them to the crabs i think i will just put them all in one huge pot lol. (and thanks for the list, i am going save that)
