what type of commercial food do you use for your crabs? My crabs don’t like the stuff I have.

don’t worry I feed other foods also.

Commercial foods are very bad for your crabs. They contain copper sulfate, which is a pesticide that is designed to kill things that are in similar families to your crabbies.

Offer them fresh fruits and veggies daily for a start, and check out this website.
