Zoo Med Hermit Crab Fruit Salad
A dried fruit treat adds real variety to a hermit crab's diet. Zoo Med Hermit Crab Fruit Salad is a dried fruit mix of apple, cranberry and mango pieces, fed alongside – never instead of – a staple hermit crab food, to add foraging enrichment and natural sweetness to the diet.
Key features
- Three dried fruits – apple, cranberry and mango, nothing else in the blend.
- Encourages foraging – scatter through substrate or dish-feed to give crabs something to search for.
- Resealable pack – keeps the remaining mix fresh between feeds.
- Treat, not a staple – designed to sit alongside a complete hermit crab food, not replace one.

Feeding directions
Spoon out roughly 1 teaspoon of food for every 1 to 2 hermit crabs being fed. Moistening the food lightly gives better results, and any uneaten portion should be removed from the enclosure within 24 hours to keep the crabitat clean.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for land hermit crabs (Coenobita species) as a dietary treat. Not suitable as a sole diet – it doesn't carry the calcium and broader nutrition profile of a staple hermit crab food, so keep a complete food as the everyday base.
Goes well with
- Zoo Med Hermit Crab "Bright" Water/Food Bowl – a dish to serve this and the staple diet in.
- Zoo Med Hermit Crab Scooper Substrate Sieve – for clearing uneaten scattered pieces out of the substrate.

Common questions
Can this replace my hermit crab's regular food?
No – it's a treat for variety and foraging, not a complete diet. Keep feeding a staple hermit crab food as the everyday base.
How often should I feed this?
Zoo Med's directions are written per feed rather than a weekly schedule; offer a small amount alongside the staple diet and remove uneaten food within 24 hours.
Does it need to be rehydrated before feeding?
Zoo Med recommends moistening the food for optimal results, though it can also be offered dry.
What's actually in the mix?
Just three ingredients: dried apples, dried cranberries and dehydrated mango – no fillers or artificial additions listed.
