Hermit crabs will eat hermit crab food. There are many different kinds. Go to any pet store and check out the hermit crab section. You'll see many selections.
Hermit crabs eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruit, some meats, unseasoned breads and other foods. They require calcium, protein, carotene, and antioxidants. If a crab doesn't have enough carotene, its color will fade out, so give him brightly-colored vegetables, such as carrots. Hermit crabs basically eat the same things we do since they're omnivores and scavengers. Obviously, with the exception of some sugary snacks we eat.
To give your crab the calcium he needs, buy some cuttlebone (can be found in bird section) and break it up into chunks. For protein, hermit crabs can eat fish food flakes, brine shrimp, unflavored meat, blood worms, and all sorts of foods.
Give them a variety of foods everyday, not only the commercial food (which some people think is bad for them).

So, I'm a pretty healthy eater (mostly), and I try to keep full with fiber-rich foods (whole grains, beans, etc), drinking water, and trying to eat lots of veggies, but I feel hungry all the time. I'm also trying to eat smaller meals more often, which I know is good, but sometimes is harder....

My twin grandbabies are 18 months old now, and one of them refuses to eat meat. I don't mean just beef, but also pork, seafood of any kind and poultry. We've rolled it in bread crumbs, dipped it in all kinds of sauces, chopped it up so it's almost invisible and hidden it all types of dishes and...
