You're name is just like a VERY experienced crabber that I know from other forums.
My crabs love: mango, apple, walnuts, shrimp, & leaves like maple, oak, Russian olive, cottonwood etc.

most nuts are good for them. if they're canned watch for chemicals and preservatives, if they're fresh watch for pesticides.

My crabs favourite food is whole wheat Ritz crackers...
I have been "crabbing" since August '06. I got off to a rough start (R.I.P Pinchy) but I am now more knowledgeable and addicted to my crabs!
