rabs in the wild typically have a very diverse diet. Most species are omnivorous, and we’ve taken this preference into account with Natureholic Crabfeed Sticks . They contain biologically balanced animal and plant components that are also part of the natural diet of omnivorous crabs in their natural habitat. The valuable ingredients in Natureholic Crabfeed naturally support your crabs’ molting, digestion, growth, and reproduction.
In NatureHolic’s high-quality feed varieties, we consciously avoid using inferior, cheap animal meal, and especially fishmeal. For our crab feed, we use insects and crustaceans, particularly krill, as protein sources . These not only provide nutritionally beneficial protein but also the important chitin , which enables crabs to develop optimal shells. They also supply the molting and growth hormone ecdysone, which can support the molting process .
Molluscs and insects in the crab feed provide additional high-quality protein. This ensures that NatureHolic Crabfeed supplies the omnivorous crab with everything it needs for healthy growth, trouble-free molting, and successful reproduction (where possible in an aquarium, terrarium, paludarium, or aquaterrarium). Salmon oil contributes high-quality unsaturated fatty acids and natural astaxanthin for more vibrant colors. NatureHolic Crabfeed contains our special blend of minerals, trace elements, and vitamins with highly bioavailable mineral compounds, some from organic sources. These do not require the organism to laboriously convert them but are directly available.
The crabs can easily grasp the approximately 10 mm long , water-resistant sticks with their claws and nibble them cleanly – this keeps water pollution from abrasion during feeding to a minimum, as does the high digestibility. The sticks are produced gently and in an environmentally friendly manner .
Feeding recommendation :
Feed 1-2 times daily, giving only as much as the animals can consume in a few minutes. Feed sparingly; generally, 1-3 sticks per crab are sufficient, depending on the crab’s size. For smaller species, the sticks can be cut with scissors or a knife.
