Hermit Crab Food: Debunking the Dairy Myth
Julia Crab writes
“Don’t feed your crabs dairy! It will kill them!”I’ve heard this since the first day I found my first hermit crab site on the internet. Everyone says it; it’s “common knowledge.” It is also incorrect.
Like many tidbits of crabbing wisdom, “don’t feed your crabs dairy” is based on conjecture, misunderstanding of nutrition and the properties of food, and is widespread because it’s repeated constantly. However, just because something is repeated over and over again does not make it true; it just makes it familiar.
Please read the rest of this hermit crab diet article @ the Crab Street Journal. Julia Crab continues to be the leader in hermit crab nutrition research and we all thank her for time and information. She’s debunked another theory!
