Hermit Crab's Diet

Hermit Crab Food

Hermit crabs eat people food including peanut butter, salad, vegtables,  rice, and cereal! Do not under any circumstances feed your hermit crab dairy or dairy based foods. Things like cheese, milk and ice cream are dairy foods. Their digestive system cannot handle dairy foods and this will lead to an untimely death. You should make sure not to leave any fruits or vegetable in the tank for more than 24 hours because they will rot and make the hermit crabs sick.
