There are lots of brands of hermit crab food. I prefer the flake type by HBH. But there are also pellet-types,

and wet-types (like the consistency of dog food)

There are many more types of hermit crab food, but those are the three main kinds of food you'll find in most pet stores.

There are lots of great, different brands out there.

Hermit crabs also like regular foods you can find at the grocery store, such as:

  • Apples & applesauce

  • Carrots

  • Spinach

  • Lettuce & watercress (no iceberg lettuce)

  • Grapes

  • Blueberries

  • Strawberries

  • Bananas

  • Brine shrimp

  • Peanut butter

  • Unsalted crackers

  • Unsalted non-buttered popcorn (as in: absolutely plain popcorn)

Hermit crabs generally feed on Hermit Crab pellets (avaliable at most pet stores) but they also like fish flakes and tiny pieces of fruit. I have found that mine doesn't eat much but tends to drink more of it's fresh water.
