It is best to also provide a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, protein, algae/seaweed, etc. Many pet stores carry freeze-dried shrimp, dried seaweed, etc. that hermit crabs will enjoy. Keep in mind that some store-bought fish foods have copper added, which is toxic to hermit crabs, so check the label.
