Product details
Description
Ensure your hermit crabs thrive with the Snout and Shell Greensand Supplement, a premium mineral powder designed specifically to support their complex molting cycle. As hermit crabs grow, they require consistent access to essential nutrients like calcium, silica, and iron to build strong, durable exoskeletons.
This natural, ocean-mined greensand formula provides the vital trace minerals necessary for successful molts and long-term shell health. Unlike fresh food supplements that can rot or spoil in the high-humidity conditions of a typical crabitat, this inert powder remains stable and safe at all times.
The fine texture is perfect for use in gravity feeders or simple feeding dishes, ensuring your pets have continuous, easy access to nutrition without requiring frequent cleanup or maintenance. Ideal for both seasoned enthusiasts and those looking to simplify their pet care routine, this non-GMO, USA-sourced supplement is free from fillers and additives.
By keeping this supplement in the enclosure, you can maintain a consistent feeding schedule that supports your crab's wellbeing, even when you are away. Give your hermit crabs the high-quality mineral support they need to remain active, healthy, and resilient throughout every stage of their lives.
How to use
- Place 1/4 teaspoon per crab in a clean, shallow feeding dish within your crabitat.
- Replace the supplement as it is consumed to ensure consistent access to nutrients.
