We thought this was just part of their food that they had pushed out of their dish, as some of their hermit crab food pellet mix includes meal worms...
...but we decided that this was NOT a meal worm...
...we also realized that the food we were using this week was strictly pellets, no meal worms...
...and upon further investigation (using online resources)...
...we decided this was hermit crab poop!
What an exciting day in the land of caring for hermit crabs! :)
We consulted our hermit crab reference material and found that hermit crabs "use the bathroom" in their shells, but they use their reduced legs to "flush" their waste material out of their shells and into the substrate as they are crawling here and there.
How resourceful of them!
