Hermit Crab Food needs to be all-natural, organic, wild-crafted, wild harvested, and free of preservatives. Crabotanicals brand hermit crab food details their research and product development here.
Copper as an additive is definitely bad for crabs, but it is an essential nutrient when it takes the form of a trace mineral found in a whole food such as in the case of garbonzo beans and lentils.
Land hermit crabs need a varied diet, but human-grade food sources do not properly mimic what these scavengers might find in their natural environment. These are my notes regarding successes and failures of the food trials I have conducted on possible non-human grade food sources while developing a line of all-natural pet food products called Crabotanicals.
