Food Choices: Baby crabs are omnivores and they can eat many different types of food. Food suitable for small crabs includes vegetables (such as carrots, pumpkins, spinach), fruits (such as apples, bananas), aquatic plants (such as kelp, seaweed), fish food, shrimp, etc. You can choose suitable food according to the taste and nutritional needs of the small crabs.


Feeding method: Place food into the side of the small crab container, and make sure the food container is stable enough to prevent the small crab from knocking it over. Feed once a day, and determine the amount of food according to the appetite of the small crabs. Do not overfeed to prevent food residues from rotting in the water and affecting water quality.


Provide Calcium Supplement: Baby crabs need calcium to maintain the health and strength of their shells. You can add calcium-rich foods such as seaweed or shells to your food, or you can purchase specialized crab calcium supplements.


Clean water source: Baby crabs need a clean water source to drink and breathe. Change the water source regularly and make sure it is not contaminated with food debris.


Observe health: Regularly observe the health of your baby crabs, including appetite, activity level and shell condition. If any abnormalities are found, seek medical treatment promptly.


With proper feeding and care, you can help baby crabs stay healthy and active. Please remember not to put unknown food in randomly, so as not to affect the health of the little crabs.
