This food is formulated for aquatic turtles with a minimum shell length of 2 inches or larger. Open container and spoon out 1 level teaspoon of food per turtle. Let turtles feed for a minimum of 1 hour. Remove any uneaten food after 1 hour. (Note: The floating cranberries can be left in the tank as some aquatic turtles take time to develop a taste for them.) If your turtles eat all of their food in a short time, you may want to increase the food amount to 1 level tablespoon, per turtle, or more per feeding. Feed turtles every other day (four times per week). Do not overfeed your turtles.
For Adult turtles (7 inches and larger), supplement with Zoo Med Natural Aquatic Turtle Food - Maintenance Formula.
My turtles love this food. I wish there were more of the treats in it but it's still a favorite for my pets.
Tried this food as something new for our red-eared slider turtle. She will not eat it. She will go to it and check it out then swim away. Unfortunately it has been a waste of money for this household.
Always happy with everything we get from Chewy. price, quality, customer service on returns
Please just go pick up in store these come spilled and stale
our turtles have been around for a while and are picky little creatures. they seem to love these treats though, a lot!
This food was what my two RES were on when I got them two years ago and the male simply will not eat the cranberries. I switched him to another food and he is just fine. I actually can’t give him treats (dried mealworms, dried shrimp, krill pellets, etc) too often because he will refuse to eat the fortified pellets that I give him if I mix them in anymore. My female gobbles this up and asks for more. Different turtles will have different taste preferences I guess!
My turtle Boo Loves this food. I just ordered another 2 Jars.
I bought this for my grandaughter's turtles whom have been eating pellets always I thought this would be much better and healthier for them. They bit the pellets only once and did not seek them afterwards Did NOT touch the cranberries and only ate the dried meal worms that are by far very few of, it also made their water smell bad.
My turtles red and Jeff loved this meal!! Will order again.
My two 15 year old red sliders don't like this food ! Nor, does my 2 year old red slider ! They like the few tid bits in there, but not the food at all !!! There is very few to none of the good stuff in this food ! It creates a total mess in my tanks ! I have to get it out, before I have a real problem on my hands ! Having to clean the entire tank out again ! Having a large tank for the older ones is a really big problem !!! I do not recommend this turtle food ! I would like a refund ! I'm just going to throw out !
