Olive Oil?

Post by autumnfalls »

I recently read that you can give crabs olive oil on occasion. I am thinking I'll do this for a treat for my little guys, but I'm not sure how. Do you just coat the food in it, or put a little dish of the oil for them to drink or what? Thanks guys. I searched but didn't find any info. -.-

Placing a little or mixing it in the food, or cooking their food with it would be best. This way there shouldn't be a chance of it getting on their gills and causing respiratory complications.
