Made
by Tetra, this popular product has been used for years
with fish as a diet supplement. It is currently available
in stores as Tetra or TetraMin Baby Shrimp Sun Dried
Treat, and may also be found in the Reptiles section
re-packaged under the name Tetra ReptoMin Baby Shrimp.
A
wonderful supplement to offer post-moulters, it consists
of dried baby shrimp -- very close to what the moulter's
exoskeleton is made of. They can munch away on it
in those times where another hermit crab might have
snuck off with the exoskeleton of a moulter, or given
on pre-moult signs as a boost of calcium and nutrients.
Not just for moulters, Tetra Baby Shrimp Sun Dried
Treat can be offered as an all year round. Like with
other treats, only offer every week or so to supplement
the staple diet of commercial, fresh and dried foods.
The

crab (C. clypeatus) that will learn any trick just
to get some of that yummy BabyShrimp treat.

"I
tried all kinds of dried brine and krill many
years ago, even other brands of dried baby shrimp.
They were all turned down by Jon and Kate. Then
I discovered TetraDelica Baby Shrimps, now called
Tetra Baby Shrimp Sun Dried Treat, and they
loved it. I give each one a small dish about
every ten days or so and the dishes are emptied
in no time. If they are in their tree when I
put in the shrimp, they wake up and zoom down
the tree like lightening--must love the smell!
That's good, 'cause I sure don't. And it's good
for them and that's a good thing."

I
bought some Tetra BabyShrimp Sun Dried Treat
for my crabs after hearing how other crabs went
bonkers over it. My PPs never seemed crazy about
it. I've offered it once since I got my Es,
and I noticed most were gone. I will give it
to them more often. My cat, Tony, loves the
stuff and comes running when he hears me feeding
the crabs. None is ever wasted.
