very cool, April 30, 2009
by Catherine511 from CT

Pros: crabs love it

"My crabs love this product. They nibble on it all the time and it's especially great for before and after molting. One suggestion I have though is to scratch the surface a little before adding it to the tank so the crabs can smell it better and know it is there."

Cute, but the same as cuttlebone, March 25, 2009
by Crabber from GA

Pros: cute
Cons: expensive

"These are very cute, but are virtually the same as cuttlebone, which you can get in the bird section and are a lot cheaper. They also provide the same amount of calcium and are just as yummy to the hermit crabs."

Great!, August 24, 2008
by Minnieluver14 from WI

"It's an adorable and effective way to make sure your hermit crabs get enough calcium so their nice and strong! My 2 hermies took to the red pail rather than the blue shovel. They also enjoy crawling on it! This is a wonderful product and I'd recommend this to anyone with hemit crabs."

Excellent, May 31, 2008

"It took a while for my hermit crabs to catch on, but now that they finally started eating it, they love it. Mainly, my hermits like the red pail."

A healthy treat for your hermit crabs, July 27, 2007
by aratinga3 from Hamilton, NJ

"This little pail and shovel is an excellent and cute way to make sure your hermie is getting enough calcium :) Strangely enough, my hermit crabs (over time) devoured the blue shovel but did not touch the red pail at all."

The crabs love it!, June 7, 2007
by Hermitcrablover from Pittsburgh, PA

"This is great for hermit crabs because it provides the calcium needed for a healthy exoskeleton. The crabs love it, too! They love munching on it!"
