Alfonso Urchins for Hermit Crabs and Isopods
Alfonso Sea urchin colors are very loved by hermit crabs, It's fun to watch them nibble on them, Contains calcium, protein, and essential trace elements. Sea urchins are very fragile. We cannot guarantee they won't break during shipment even though I package them well. Natural

That philosophy never left me—my audience just got a little smaller (and grew shells).
Today, many of the ingredients in my mixes start right in my 1,500 square foot garden. Leaves, herbs, flowers, and other goodies are grown the old-fashioned way: organically, carefully, and never sprayed with anything sketchy. If it wouldn’t meet my chef standards, it doesn’t make it into your crabitat. I also thoughtfully source certain ingredients from high-quality, sustainable herb and tea shops when needed.
My food mixes are created using established research and hands-on experience. I’ve done extensive independent research of my own. I’ve been keeping hermit crabs since 1997 and have years of experience caring for and feeding isopods alongside them.
Every mix is prepared with the same care and attention I used in professional kitchens—thoughtfully balanced to nourish, enrich, and keep mealtime interesting for hermit crabs and isopods alike. Think of it as farm-to-shell dining. They may not leave reviews, but if they could, I’m pretty sure they’d ask for seconds 🦀🌱Please note: Our farm processes products in an environment where nuts and peanuts are present.
