Pieces too small

My turtle was probably 2 months old and no longer considered a hatchling. He was a young turtle. He wanted larger pieces of food and ignored this product.

My two hatchling stinkpot musk turtles started eating these within days of being born. Fell in love with them. You get so much for just a few dollars and if you only have one or two turtles eating it, they will outgrow the pellets before you run out. Of course bigger turtles love them too though.

My turtle loves this hatchling formula although he is big. I’ve tried the maintenance formula, he wouldn’t touch it. So I will continue to purchase the hatchling

My turtle loves this hatchling formula although he is big. I’ve tried the maintenance formula, he wouldn’t touch it. So I will continue to purchase the hatchling formula as long as it makes Caesar happy. After all, if my turtle is happy, I’m happy.

Hatchling formula for aquatic turtles

My hatchling turtle won't accept this food. I've tried repeatedly to feed it, even in combination with other foods, to no avail. He will eat the other food and leave

These are very tiny pellets and would be ideal for hatchling size up to a couple inch in size turtles. I have a variety of species and sizes that I raise and thought I'd try some different pellets. None of my aquatics seem to show any interest in these pellets! Even when I feed them alone, without another food source, they just watch these float by and rarely ever go after them. Based on brand and ingredient composition I think they're probably a good product. Maybe they're too small to be noticed. I don't know, I just know that none of mine show much interest in them. Others may have better luck!

Good nutrition, but...

Although the product has the nutrition hatchling turtles need, the pellets are so small they float away instantly, and baby turtles are not coordinated or fast enough

Although the product has the nutrition hatchling turtles need, the pellets are so small they float away instantly, and baby turtles are not coordinated or fast enough to eat them. Also, they mold very fast, as in 2 days, so I am not using them any more.

All my turtles love this

I have assorted musk and red ear slider babies about two inches each in a large tank and this is their main diet. Won't come near the stick foods.
