I have had two Red-Eared Slider female turtles for 10+ years, they each live in a 125 gallon aquarium and they both LOVE, LOVE these- I bring this information up to attest to a lengthy history of having turtles. The treats, indeed, do float and they are hard as rocks, but, once they're in the water a bit and my two girls use their naturally given, powerful beaks (RES's have beaks! I don't know about other turtles), they demolished them. Even if the treats begin to sink down my girls race after them because they love these so much. Just one turtle Mommy's experience - I've bought dozens of bags.
I bought this item for my baby aquatic turtle. I was excited because it was supposed to float for my turtle to chase, but it immediately sank to the bottom and disintegrated. I then had to clean his cage out because it was had chunks of one of the “treats”.
These treats are a little stinky but are a fun treat for turtles to have. Mine love them.
My RES turtle likes these treats but they have two issues: 1) They are sold in a plastic bag that often gets crushed during transport so some treats become nothing but dust. 2) They say they float but, only about 50% of the shrimp treats float and the clam ones never do. If these two issues were resolved, I would recommend the product. But unless they can at least make them float so my turtle can bite at them, they are useless. So I do not recommend them at this time.
I bought these because they said they float. I should have read the reviews first. It sank to the bottom after about 2 seconds. I will not be getting these again. Maybe one of the fish or my turtle will find it at the bottom.
These treats do not float but my turtle loves them. As his main goal in life is to bite my finger I can throw one of these in the tank and it keeps him busy enough that I can work in his tank without getting bit.
Hard as rocks and didn’t float as they should. Definitely old, my turtle didn’t even seem interested when these are her favorite.
Thought this would be a good idea to get my turtle active. Unfortunately the first one I gave him sank immediately and so did the 2nd and 3rd ones. I think 2 of these clusters snack things floated for more then 10 seconds.
Sometimes my sister's turtle will eat it & sometimes it ignores it.
these dont float.... and my tom will not eat them. so if that is what your looking for these are not it.
