"My hermit crabs just love this food. Since my hermit crabs are still small, they can grip it easily and are more active! It does smell i little funny, but if the cage is enclosed you don't even smell it. It really brings out the color in their exoskeletons ( not the shell, but their skin. ). With this food my hermit crabs have been eating more of a regular meal now, but they used to barely eat because the food was too big. But this food it suited for all sized crabs."
