Hi all,

I was just wondering what other people feed their Koura. I am wanting  to try and add a bit more variety to my guys diets. Also how do you add calcium to their diet?  

Thanks

Anything!  Mine seems to get most of its food by shifting through the sand at night.  This would include any left over fish food so I don't deliberately feed it protein based food since I reckon it finds all it needs.  Because its the only omnivore in the tank I do supplement it with veges but for convince I give it some Repashy Veggie Burger that I have on hand to feed my Blue Tongue skink.  Likewise I mix a sprinkling of of reptile calcium powder in it for the BTS when I make it up so the Koura gets a dose as well.  

After it moults keep the old exo-skeleton in the tank for a few nights.  I have seen mine feeding off it so figure once its new shell hardens enough for it to come out of hiding it eats some of its old shell to reclaim some calcium.

Of course repashy would be great, never thought of that. Yeah I leave their old shell in the tank for a bit which they tend to nibble on
