Imitation crab is fine as long as it doesn't have artificial preservatives and is given as a treat only. It's just whitefish or something with flavoring ... Regular potatoes aren't recommended because they have a different type of sugar and are very high in sugars. Sweet potato is much more recommended. And it's good for you too!

That's good to hear because I gave them a few flakes of the crab and they gobbled it up :D
