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.

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!
