What do cave crawdads eat?

Answer 1

Crayfish are omnivorous and will eat a wide variety of foods, including plants, insects, frog eggs, small fish, dead plants and animals and worms. They commonly feed on submerged, decaying vegetation, deriving nutrients mainly from the bacteria and other decomposers associated with it.

Answer

Common Name: Crayfish (Crawfish, Crawdad, Freshwater Lobster, etc.).

A crawfish's favorite food is soft, decomposing plant matter; however, they will eat just about anything : algae, snails, insects, plants, dead fish, etc. Crawfish are cannibals and will even consume other crawfish that are molting.They will also take food and bury it near the entrance of their den, just like a dog buries a bone.

Answer 2

They can eat Gold fish food and other fish when you get one you can keep the water you get them in just add some more clean water they can also eat little food and they sometimes like dirty water just make sure that they have some kind of water and that they are in there

**In rivers and lakes, crayfish are omnivorous ~ they'll eat dead carcasses, fish eggs, live minnows, plants, algae, leaf litter, all manner of stuff found on the bottoms of water bodies. One caution; crayfish can survive out of water, so be sure to have a lid and/or very steep sides on any container or terrarium you're putting them in, if you are keeping them at home.

Answer 3

For food, they'll eat basically anything. Really! In the wild they are scavengers, though if they can catch a fish, they'll eat it, they mainly eat carrion or plant matter, and detritous on the pond bottom. We feed ours once a week, just kitchen scraps; uncooked veggie scraps anywhere from carrot peels to pea pods to the ends of a cucumber, anything veggie, or slices of orange, apple, whatever. Give them this once a week, and once every month give them some lean red meat or calimari (squid, which we find works best). You can use the tablets you can sometimes find at petshops for them, too, sometimes you can find crayfish food, or use bottom feeder (fish) food, as well. IMPORTANT; do not overfeed them. Whatever you do feed them, don't leave it in the tank longer than two hours, or it will start to pollute the tank. If they eat it all, give them a little bit more, and remove the left overs after the two hours.
