Come along behind the scenes as I make fresh, homemade food mixes for hermit crabs using real, wholesome ingredients I carefully prepare myself. In this video, I share the full process β from grilling fresh salmon and cooking vegetables to help reduce oxalates, to loading up my dehydrators with nutrient-rich foods for long-lasting freshness. I focus on mainly organic ingredients and create balanced meals packed with natural proteins, fruits, veggies, and healthy extras hermit crabs love.
If youβve ever wondered what goes into the hermit crab food I sell on Etsy, this video gives a closer look at the time, care, and quality behind every batch. Fresh ingredients, small-batch preparation, and lots of love for hermit crabs are at the heart of everything I make for My Happy Crabitat.
