Product Description

The #1 Aquatic turtle food has gone "natural" and is now available in 3 pellet sizes and protein levels (Hatchling, Growth and Maintenance Formulas). Each has been scientifically formulated to meet the dietary requirements of aquatic turtles at each of their life stages. The Hatchling formula is higher in protein to accommodate the rapid growth rates of hatchling and juvenile aquatic turtles. The Growth and Maintenance formulas meet the dietary requirements of growing and adult aquatic turtles. Our pellets float making it easier for aquatic turtles, who prefer eating at the water surface, to locate their food.

Turtles not thrilled about it ... still evaluating

Turtles not thrilled about it ... still evaluating
Edited: My turtles consistently ate this product but lost interest when I bought it from Amazon. This may have been coincidence but the pellets are slightly different in appearance. Thinking I got a bad batch I sought help from the retailer, Amazon, which wouldn't refund or replace it, but directed me to the manufacturer. That is NOT the kind of customer service that made me a loyal Amazon customer. I'll buy this product from a local retailer in the future.I really appreciate the Zoo Med folks offering a replacement and troubleshooting potential appetite issues with my turtles. Time will tell what the issue is, but ZooMed stands by the product and does take care of its customers.
Thank you for your feedback
