I have two miniature turtles. Is 5/16" too big for them?
Answer by ChewyFeb 03, 2018
This food is formulated for turtles that have reached their full adult size, or a shell length of 6 inches. Place pellets in the water and allow turtles to feed for a minimum of one hour. Any uneaten food left after this time should be netted out and discarded. If your turtles eat all of their food in a short amount of time, increase the quantity of food offered at each feeding.

Great Pellet Food

My turtles love this, I feed it in rotation with Fluker's buffet blend, earthworms, mealworms, shrimp, and occasionally fish and all of my turtles have grown up healthy and active. This is a good food but remember to never just feed one thing. Feed a variety of foods, even if it is just pellet foods and freeze dried stuff. Your turtle will appreciate it! That being said, I like these pellets, they don't fall apart right away like the trash reptomin green sticks. If you are complaining about this turning your water a different color or making it dirty, you need a stronger filter / larger tank. Pellets shouldnt dye your water a different color. If it is then your filtration is inadequate or your tank is far too small or a combination of both. I recommend Zoo Med's turtle clean 75 for larger tanks, it's what I have in my 110 gallon stock tank and it keeps the water clean and oxygenated.

gooey mess

Who has time to monitor how much the turtle is eating?? The pellets dissolved into a mess that made the tank a mess! I am not at all pleased with this product!!

Happy turtles

My niece was asked if she would watch over 2 turtles. The person never came back. They were stuck in an aquarium. My niece built a pond. My niece lost her job so I bought her turtle food.

Turtle loves them!!!

My turtle is 7.5 inches long and I had her on the growth formula for the longest time and she was having to eat more because she wasn't get full off the small pellets now she eats less pellets which also keeps the water cleaner and she gets full faster

Floating Turtle Food

I've been using this product for ten years. I've got eight Red-eared Sliders with shells eight to nine inches. They have thrived on this food and scramble to get their share at every feeding.

Needed a change

“Didn’t realize as I age that my diet should change.” Thanks mom * it’s formulated for older turtles, bigger pellets and different nutrients for the age
