Product Description
Ensure your hermit crabs receive the essential minerals they need for a healthy life with this premium USA-sourced Oyster Shell Supplement. Specifically formulated for the unique dietary requirements of land hermit crabs, this crushed shell powder provides a highly bioavailable, natural source of calcium.

It is compatible with gravity-style automatic feeders and remains stable in the warm, humid conditions typical of a well-maintained crabitat. By offering this pure, additive-free supplement, you encourage natural foraging behaviors. It can be easily dusted over your pet's daily meals or placed in a dedicated dry feeding dish to ensure 24/7 access to this important nutritional staple. As a 100% natural, USA-imported product, it provides a safe, high-quality solution for crab keepers looking to support their pet’s long-term well-being, growth, and shell maintenance.
