If you'd like to get some of the Ford County leaves, I've listed some bags! Look for 'Leaf Litter'
It's the same leaves as Moss Pit, it just doesn't have the accessories. ☺️🍃

Also, Momma Crab will be listing more on her etsy tomorrow. ☺️

If you missed our first batch of Moss Pit Additive, head on over to Momma Crab's shop and grab a large bag of leaves for only $20. We've got a great (and much bigger!) assortment of leaves this year.

I haven't said much about Momma Crab lately, so let me update you all. She is now moved into her new apartment and she loves it. She is leaving a 30 year marriage, so it's been hard. Not just the physical aspects. She left a lot behind and has to start over (ish) at 67 years old. Her heart surgery and all that followed was really hard. She fought SO HARD to stay here. Twice! She has finally chosen herself. She will hopefully have a much fuller and calmer life now.

If you'd like to help, go grab a bag of leaves. 😊❤️

This Pet Food & Treats item is sold by Paws2PinchersPlus. Ships from Gibson City, IL. Listed on Nov 17, 2025

Well, Momma Crab is finally all moved in to her new place. I'm beyond exhausted! I'll be working orders all weekend to be caught up hopefully by Tuesday. I am beyond thankful for your support, the moss pit additive was it's usual success! Thanks to YOU, I was able to get Mom some food, bedroom stuff, all the things you need starting off basically. I was really stressing how much she was going to be going without. So THANK YOU again, i truly appreciate each and every one of you.

P.S. I'm really sorry for the absence as well. Things have just been A LOT lately. ❤️

P.P.S. How adorable is this little kitchen!!!

It's finally ready! The Midwest Moss Pit MegaMix is about to go live. This is BY FAR the best variety of leaves I've ever had. It's taken a few years but my burning bush, blackberry and mulberry leaves are in this batch. This is also tannin heavy with acorns and bark and twigs.

If this first batch sells out before you get to it, don't panic! I have more, I promise. I'm only listing what I've managed to bag so far.

Please remember I am helping Momma Crab through a big life change and move so I am not able to ship until Friday.

Not only is our moss pit mix coming shortly, but the fall/winter mixes have all the beautiful rich tannins the seasonal change brings here in the Midwest. Tannins will enrich and deepen your hermit crabs colors.

This one is Midwest Minnow Crunch & Munch

There's been a lot going on in my personal life and since this business is just me doing it all, any kind of life happenings affect my business. Please know I'm doing my very best to keep up right now. I hope to have the moss mix ready in a day or 2.

"What's taking so long on the moss pit mix?"
"It's just leaves, why not just toss them in a bag?"

My hands touch every leaf. Every feather. Every twig, every bug. I pick off the stems, they are gross sticking out of substrate. I keep the leaves that have other bugs 🐛 nibble marks... it's telling me that's a tasty leaf!

Many of you know our moss pit mix sells out within an hour or two after posting. The max I've ever had available was 30 bags last year. I kept my promise to forage a larger amount throughout the year. Here's where we're at! Drying maples oaks, burning bush , mulberry, blackberry and more.

I promise I'm going as fast as I can. But this is why it takes so long. It's a very labor intense, time consuming and tedious product to make. I don't just stuff leaves in a bag, I'm hand picking bouquets for your tanks. All of this is before I add the extras like snake shed, cuttle bones and wood nibbles! 🤦‍♀️

Ohhhh, there's also a long period of time required for freezing and baking. ⏲️

I hope to start bagging tomorrow..
