Interview with Jedi_sena

My cousin and I are avid outdoorswomen and we have always enjoyed learning about local flora, buying books on edible native plants, and identifying the species on our horseback rides and nature walks and we discuss our finds online.

Having much interest in natural Herbs and healthy eating, I easily began to focus on possible sources of food for my pets when I got my first hermit crabs in 2005. I started in my own back yard where I have an apple tree and a Russian olive tree. Apples were on the safe food list so I began feeding these since I trusted that they were next-to-Organic being certain that the backyard had not been sprayed w/ any pesticides or fertilized chemically.

The apples were a hit, but the Russian olive tree did not appear on the safe list or the unsafe list. After getting instructions from the Epicurean Hermit web-site owner on conducting food trials, I proceeded with the Russian olive leaf trial which turned out to be a huge hit with my crabs and was deemed safe!

I shared this new information with the crab-keeping community and their positive feedback encouraged me to begin more and more food trials on local Colorado plantlife which also proved successful. My cousin followed my findings with much interest and offered to collect some leaves and berries from a rural area near her home in Washington State.

More food trials began–again with exciting results. Meanwhile I was attempting to assist a new crab owner who was frustrated that her crabs had not eaten any of the so-called “favorite” foods that she was offering. I felt that her crabs were craving something leafy and more like the diet they were accustomed to in the wild, so I suggested she pluck some Dandelion leaves from the backyard. She was further frustrated by my advice because she was a city-dweller with no access to safe weeds.

At that moment I realized that I was at an unfair advantage. It was not enough to simply pass on information about these great natural food sources if the average person could not access them. That is how Crabotanicals was born! Our mixes feature wild-harvested leaves, blossoms, bark, and more.

Several products are now for sale at The Happy Hermit (eBay store) and coming soon to The Crabbage Patch. Interest in our products and research is growing rapidly and we are getting a lot of positive feedback. My goal is to quit my job and crab full-time!
