Buddha seed pods make great hides for larger hermit crabs. When your hermit crabs will no longer fit through a standard hole in a coconut, consider a Buddha pod! These pods are just as strudy as coconuts, but have a wider opening to accomodate some of our larger crabby babes. Sustainably and ethically harvested in the Philippines. Has been deep frozen for 90 days to eliminate any unwanted hitch-hikers.There is a small amount of dried flesh in the interior of most buddha pods-- crabs enjoy eating it, as do isopods and springtails.
