Packed with nourishing ingredients chosen to support strength, energy, and recovery, this mix is a favorite among crab keepers for helping tired, ill, or lethargic hermit crabs regain energy and appetite.

    Make Hermit Crab Food with Me

    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 — 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 you’ve 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.

    You can find our foods at myhappycrabitat.etsy.com

    Free Hermit Crab Enrichment

    June 21, 2026

    Looking for a simple, natural hermit crab enrichment idea? This free hermit crab enrichment item is both adorable and functional — a woven bird nest! These natural nests make the perfect little foraging bowl for hermit crabs to climb into, nap in, snack on, and explore. Filled with safe foraged goodies, moss, leaves, flowers, or treats, they create a cozy enrichment spot your crabs will love.

    I thought I’d share how I use bird nests as a fun hermit crab tank accessory, plus ideas for turning them into an enriching snack station using safe natural materials. It’s an easy way to add climbing, hiding, and foraging opportunities while giving your crabitat a cute natural look!

    @myhappycrabitat

    Birds nests make for a cool foraging item! It can be filled with leaves and florals. The hermit crabs can nibble at them & nap in them! #hermitcrab #hermitcrabs #hermitcrabsoftiktok #hermitcrabtok #hermitcrabcare

    How to Process Banana Leaves for Hermit Crabs

    June 3, 2026

    My hermit crabs love banana leaves! Some grocery stores like HEB (Texas grocery store chain) carried them in the produce section. Once we moved away I couldn’t find them anymore. I ended up finding them in Asian grocery stores! Sometimes in the produce section and sometimes in the freezer!

    @tidepooltales

    My crabs love banana leaves. I usually add them to either a foraging mix or a leaf littler mix! #hermitcrabcare #hermitcrab #hermitcrabs #hermitcrabsoftiktok #hermitcrabtok
