Are you referring to mint leaves? Where would I find such a thing?

Thanks,

You're lucky with your crabs. Mine won't eat anything on your list. A little pineapple once in a while is about it.

I'm going to look for mint leaves, I'm curious if mine will like them. Mine seem to turn their "noses" up at alot of things other crabs like. They do however go crazy for freshly crushed peanuts!! I find them pushing and shoving each other out of the dish.

Same here.A lot of other crabs love earthworm castings but not mine! They just turn up their noses at it but they love shrimp, walnuts etc.

If you go to the herb section at a plant nursery, you can buy a potted mint plant and grow your own! It might be easier than trying to locate it in a grocery store.
Does anyone know if crabs go for any other fresh herbs or do they prefer dried herbs? It would be easy to grow a small herb garden to share with your crabs!
