UNDER THE SEA SOLID OIL
Our Under the Sea product is a nourishing mix designed specifically for hermit crabs, blending the benefits of marine-based ingredients like kelp and seaweed with the moisturizing properties of coconut oils. These solid oils are stored in a 1 oz tin container which provides a compact but powerful source of nutrients.
Ingredients:
Kelp and Kelp Powder: Kelp is rich in iodine, calcium, magnesium, and essential vitamins that support healthy growth and molting in hermit crabs.
Seaweed: Seaweed, another marine-derived superfood, is loaded with beneficial minerals and antioxidants. It helps boost the immune system and supports overall vitality. Its high fiber content also aids digestion.
Coconut oil is a fantastic moisturizer that helps keep hermit crabs’ exoskeletons in good condition, especially post-molt. It’s also a source of medium-chain fatty acids, which provide energy and support metabolism.
Benefits:
Supports Molting: The iodine and essential nutrients in kelp help regulate hermit crabs’ molting cycles, ensuring smoother and healthier molts. This is crucial since molting is a vulnerable time for crabs
Boosts Immunity: The antioxidants and minerals from seaweed support the crabs’ immune system, helping them fight off diseases and maintain their vitality in a captive environment.
Improves Exoskeleton Health: Coconut oil’s moisturizing properties help keep the exoskeleton smooth and resilient, which is important for maintaining proper hydration and preventing damage.
Energy and Growth: With the combination of healthy fats from coconut oil and the nutrient-rich kelp, this product supports the crabs’ growth and overall energy levels, ensuring they remain active and engaged in their environment.
Digestive Health: The fiber content in seaweed aids digestion and helps prevent issues related to improper diets, which can sometimes occur in captivity.
Under the Sea is ideal for owners looking to provide their hermit crabs with marine-based nutrition in a convenient and easy-to-apply form, making it an excellent addition to any crab’s diet for a healthier and more enriched life.
How to offer:
