Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions


How long can this be stored once opened?
Answer by Chewy • Mar 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.

How often would I need to feed the turtle?
Answer by Chewy • Oct 20, 2017
Most young turtles eat daily, while older turtles can be fed daily or every other day, depending upon the pet's individual appetite.

can salcata turtles eat this?

My tatertot loves it

My little box turtle (tatertot) has loved this since I first introduced it to him as a baby several years ago. It smells so fresh and fruity, and he loves it when I mix things up with some fresh strawberries, tomato, or lettuce. So sad when our local store stopped selling pet supplies but was very happy to find it here on Chewy in 5 packs. Glad to see the price is leveling back out.

Turtle and Skink love this food

I have an Asian Box turtle (tortoise) and a blue tongued skink that love this food! Of course, they get other foods like tomato, blueberries, crickets, banana and cooked chicken. But they go for this right away and eat heartily. The Zoo Med Canned Box Turtle food is a mainstay of their diet and they are healthy and happy!

Mako approves of this product

Our three toed box turtle really likes this food. I put it on a flat ceramic coaster so he can get up to it and eat better. I usually give him 1/4 of a can every few days and he eats most if not all of it. He never took to any of the other commercial turtle diets but also eats crickets and worms. Strawberries are his favorite when they are in season. Whatever he doesn't eat I put in the chicken bucket so nothing goes to waste.

Box Turtle can food

My box turtle loves this food and has done well on it for years. Of course, other fresh vegetables and fruit with meal worms are offered. This item is great and you can smell the fresh ingredients.

Zoo Med Canned Box Turtle Food

Not one of my four adult Eastern box turtles will touch it. Gave it a quick sniff and then walked away. Too bad that I bought a dozen cans. I have a new yearling CB North American Wood Turtle. Perhaps he might be interested in it when he gets a bit older but right now he chows down his Mazuri aquatic turtle pellets.

King Charles doesn't like it?

My Three-Toed Box Turtle, King Charles appears to not like this stuff. I gave it three stars because it smells fresh, and has good ingredients. I also bought freeze dried crickets to add to this, but it seems to not have made any difference. King Charles just barely woke up yesterday, on St. Patty's Day from his hibernation. He's in very good shape - strong, and well-muscled. He was down since late November. His regular diet is Night Crawlers with blueberries and/or strawberries. I sprinkle calcium on that when necessary, and he does get daily natural sun. He has green edible plants growing near him, but he never eats any of them. I thought he might partake of this canned food - especially with the addition of the crickets. To be fair he did "taste" the first dish I put down for him, yesterday. Maybe he'll warm up to it - but I'm not holding my breath. After all he's been with me since 1995 and eating this same worm/berry diet since then - with maybe a few grubs, snails and canned dog food added once in a great while. I offered it to him again today - but he didn't even "taste" it this time. So, I went out and bought him some worms. Oh well!
