## Description

The #1 Aquatic turtle food has gone "natural" and is now available in 3 pellet sizes and protein levels (Hatchling, Growth and Maintenance Formulas). Each has been scientifically formulated to meet the dietary requirements of aquatic turtles at each of their life stages. The Hatchling formula is higher in protein to accommodate the rapid growth rates of hatchling and juvenile aquatic turtles. The Growth and Maintenance formulas meet the dietary requirements of growing and adult aquatic turtles. Our pellets float making it easier for aquatic turtles, who prefer eating at the water surface, to locate their food.

Review: My turtles love this stuff - I've been purchasing this turtle food for a while now because my turtles really seem to love the taste of it; does not have a strong oder- actually smells good, stays fresh, is not artificially colored, and keeps my turtles healthy. Easy to use; as soon as my turtles see me pick up the jar they swim to the top of the tank waiting for me to throw some in. They don't dirty the tank; they're low priced, but great quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How big are the pieces?**
A: No they’re small I use them for
My musk turtle he’s only 4 inches long and loves them

**Q: Is it 10oz? Or is it 4.8oz?**
A: The 1 I bought is a 10 oz.

**Q: What is the size of the pellets?  I have an adult female musk turtle, and she's an awkward eater.  The bigger the pellets, the better.**
A: The pellets are small but not hatchling size.  They are not big and round like the regular zoo med turtle food either...someone in the middle.  However, my musk turtle is an adult size and eats them just fine. I would buy again.

**Q: Does this product provide enough calcium for a red eared sliders diet**
A: I use this product and I also use calcium powder but my turtle has not had any problems with just the food alone. Hope this helps.

*by A***A on June 13, 2025*

This has been our go to turtle food. We have a red eared slider and I've cycled through several different types of food, from several pet stores. Ultimately we landed on this one and it worked. He has never had an issue eating, he put on weight and his shell cleaned up. Also, it was the best price on Amazon. 5 stars.
