Feeding a Crayfish

Hey everyone

i work at a nature perserve and one of the camp groups caught a impressive crayfish...the policy is catch, keep to learn about (2-3 weeks) and release where found. Now i set it up in a tank with rocks/gravel on the bottom with a area so it can come fully out of the water if it wants, a plant, a rock cave, a filter and some guppies.

I was curious as to what else i could feed it?

its only been 3 days and i believe its eatten a few fish. the kids love to watch it and its quite willing to put on a show for them!

any input would be great

Thanks!

Feeding a Crayfish

Hello, I would be glad to help! Let me tell you that Crayfish will eat ANYTHING. I use to keep them and i fed them shrimp pellets. You can feed them fish food, pieces (small) pieces or meat raw or cooked, almost any thing that sinks and is edible. Feeding them is the easiest way to keep a crayfish!!!

You can get shrimp pellets ant you’re local pet store (or Fred Myers!) lol
