I have been feeding my hermies FMR Land Hermit Crab Food in conjunction with fruits and veggies, and straight FMR food once a week. I know thwy like it. I just bought FMR Land Hermit Crab Treat, well, They LOVED it. It consists of Papaya, Coconut, Pineapple, Sea Salt, Banana Chips, Apples, Mangoes, Rolled Oats, and Wheat Germs. It says alter with FMR Hermit Crab Food. How many times a week can I use this, not as a substitute or fresh food, but as a treat. 2-3 times a week? Mix a little in with regular food everyday? What do you guys think?

fmr? what's that? where did you find it? it sounds like a good combination to me. i kinda want to try it. as long as you give him regular food also, they should be good. i wonder if plain banana chips would go over well....

I guess they don't know painted shells are bad.

yah that's the one thing i didn't like.

Hey what about "polished" shells, are they natural or not?
