Clownfish,

You need to make sure you stay on top of the food situation for your little octopus, now that most of the clams a What other food do you have (I'm sure Octopets will give you a refund, so send them an email.) Pick up a few good quality frozen shrimp and try offering pieces of thawed frozen shrimp.

Here is the place that sells fiddler crabs -I've ordered a lot from them in the past:
Aquaculturestore

Don't you have some fiddler crabs already?

Anyway, that's a start for food

Interways, be sure to read other threads...I put a hole in my drywall ! Oooohhhh, me achin' skull...

Yes I am veary suprised octopets said they would send a refund I am not sure ware to go because aquaculturestore sells 1 inch shrimp, 1/4 inch shrimp, and 1 inch fiddler crabs I had Know luck with fiddlers they died last time. or i can try divertom.com and get crabs and hermit crabs from my octopus's natrul invirment. my octopus only eats the larger clams.
 
You couldn't keep fiddlers alive???????????? Hey, guys..... cthulhu77, interways, where is this party? Looks like I need to join. So many people, so few functioning neurons.
 
Clownfish, you need to plan ahead for food - your octo may eat a lot and you need to have plenty of food on hand. With the holiday coming up, it would be late next week before a shipment could arrive, unless you overnight it and even then it might be Tuesday or Wednesday.

Be sure you buy the frozen shrimp soon - you don't know whether your octo will take frozen food yet, do you? You could order from Toms or get the fiddler crabs from the site I just gave you. If you search on fiddler crabs on Tonmo, you'll find the specific instructions I gave you for keeping fiddler crabs.

Your lfs should be able to provide some snails and hermit crabs. Also, some people have used frozen krill as a food -available at the lfs.
