An Exotic Diet for an Exotic Pet

When it comes to your pet's dinner, the menu consists of worms, crickets and snails galore. Zoo Med offers a wide range of nutritious and tasty food to feed every exotic pet a special diet that's made just for them.

TURTLES AND TORTOISES: From treats to whole diets, Zoo Med provides a nutritional boost to fit any turtle or tortoise want or need.

FISH: Your tropical fish enjoys a treat every now and then, and Zoo Med offers a tasty variety to choose from.

FROGS: Including high-protein, sinking pellets that mimic what frogs would eat in the wild, this frog food is just what you need to keep your amphibian jumping.

Give Him an Extra Boost

Because any pet could benefit from a little extra care, Zoo Med makes supplements that will help fortify your exotic pet's health and environment. Feeding him a supplement, in addition to his healthful meal, can be the extra step that it takes to keep your frog, lizard, turtle or fish happy and healthy.

Rest, Relax and Thrive

Every exotic pet needs a place to call their own, and Zoo Med makes it easy to keep them comfortable and thriving.

Questions & Answers

2 Customer Questions


Can these be given to red eared sliders?


How long can this be stored once opened?

Answer by ChewyMar 26, 2018
The Canned Box turtle food can be stored in a separate container with a lid in the fridge for up to 7 days. If you cannot feed it out within that time period then you can separate it into individual portions and place it in the freezer. You should pull one portion out of the freezer and place it in the fridge the night before they plan on feeding it to let it thaw.

Our box turtle has been fed this on two occasions so far and each time she just ignores it. The bet says to wait her out but I think the turtle is winning. She’d rather have a worm.

Three phone calls to you. You shipped with Ontrac, who apparently does not have a contract to deliver where I live: order was returned to you twice. It took me contacting my Ontrac delivery person to hear Ontrac no longer delivers here. Still waiting for my order.

My little boxie loves it

My box turtle really enjoys it and this makes it so easy to feed. Just crack open the can and give a quarter of a can for a meal. If I had any issues with this

My box turtle really enjoys it and this makes it so easy to feed. Just crack open the can and give a quarter of a can for a meal. If I had any issues with this at all it would be that it has kind of a funky odor, but my box turtle seems to enjoy funky odors anyway.

Difference in consistency with 2 cans

One can was fine, the second can the food was imbedded with a greasy gel. The gel exceeded the amt. of food. I threw it out. I would not order this again.

Great Purchase

My box turtle loves this. She has a deformed beak, and I don't want her to have cat food all of the time. This is excellent soft, jelly form. The pieces of corn

It is the only prepared food that my turtle will eat. But the cans leaked, and the food molded over before I even opened a couple of the cans. Maybe you can put protective wrap around them when shipping them.
