Can you hold fiddler crabs if they are pets?

Answer 1

you can get pellet food for crabs ( like HBH crab & lobster bites) at most aquarium/fish shops.. they also eat freeze dried or frozen bloodworms (some prefer frozen), you can give them a slice of fresh fruit or veggies (zuccini or cumber) every now and then as a treat.

Answer 2

Fiddler crabs are scavengers and in the wild they eat organic matter that they find within the sand or mud. In captivity they eat sinking crab food which is meant for scavengers and made from shrimp, freeze dried plankton, or other things that the fiddler crabs find tasty. Sliced zucchini is also considered a nice treat for these little guys. Depending on which food you choose for your crabby friend, it is recommended to feed them 4-6 pellets every other day or to sprinkle a little food to them each day and let it sink. It is also recommended to remove uneaten food every 24 hours to prevent the growth of mold and bad odors. Be sure to read the instructions on the food you choose because that will give you the recommended amounts to feed your fiddler crab buddy.

Answer 3

In the wild they are scavengers. In captivity, they will eat sinking crab food or fish food.

If you keep one in captivity, they need some salt in their water since that is what they have in their natural habitat.

Add salt so the specific gravity of around 1.005 - 1.010 There are very inexpensive devices sold to measure specific gravity of water.
