The Heart Behind Our Food Mixes
At The Happy Hermie, we believe that the best food comes from nature — fresh, organic, and carefully prepared. That’s why every one of our food mixes is created using only the highest quality ingredients, sourced from trusted local Australian farmers and our very own organic family farm.
Fresh, Organic & Local
Our fruits, vegetables, herbs, and plant matter are organic, seasonal, and always chemical-free. By sourcing locally, we not only ensure peak freshness but also support sustainable farming practices and small family growers in our community.
Supporting local farms not only means your hermit crabs are getting the best — it also helps strengthen our community, protect the environment, and promote sustainable farming practices. Every purchase you make directly supports small farmers, ethical sourcing, and a love for nature that extends beyond the tank.
Our family has always believed in putting heart and care into everything we do, and our choice of ingredients are no exception. When you feed your hermit crabs with us, you’re feeding them a little piece of that passion, freshness, and dedication.
Free-Range & Organic
We’re proud to use free-range and organic meats and eggs in our mixes. Raised without growth hormones, antibiotics, or harmful additives, these ingredients provide clean, natural protein to support healthy growth for your hermit crabs.
100% Natural, No Nasties
Our mixes are prepared in small batches and naturally dried with no fillers, preservatives, artificial colours, pesticides, artificial sweeteners, added salt or additives. The vibrant colours you see in our blends come purely from nature — fresh fruits, vegetables, algae, and flowers — never from artificial dyes.
Made With Care
Every ingredient is selected for its nutritional value, then blended by hand to provide a balanced, enriching diet. We treat each mix as if we were preparing it for our own hermit crabs, ensuring the same love and care goes into every batch to ensure consistent quality.
Because when it comes to your hermit crabs, quality food isn’t just important — it’s essential. Healthy hermit crabs start with healthy food, and that’s exactly what we’re here to provide.
