Tetra ReptoMin Floating Food Sticks for Aquatic Turtles/Newts/Frogs, All Life Stages, 1 Count

Came quick turtles love these

We have four aquatic turtles, and all four appear to love these floating food sticks. I am no turtle expert, but these seem to to provide complete nutrition for ours. We only rarely need to provide alternates. These floating sticks are a good size. We have one tiny turtle (shell slightly larger than a golf ball), one medium-sized, and two larger turtles (shell more like a volley ball), and we have no problem feeding all three with this sticks just as they are. As long as we don't over-feed the turtles, these sticks don't make a big mess of the tank. This container (5.5 lbs) is no joke. It is absolutely huge. If you have enough turtles to feed, as we do, this can an economical way to feed them -- that is, if you get it at a good price (the price seems to vary rather dramatically from time to time). It was less than $100 when we ordered, which made it a good value per pound. And, as a side note, our cats strangely (at least it seems strange to me) love these as well. As for aquatic turtle food, it seems hard to do better this (and we have tried many).

I switched to these for my turtles and noticed a big difference in how eagerly they eat at feeding time. These sticks float nicely on the water’s surface, which makes it easy for all my turtles to nibble without struggling. The formula seems nutritious and balanced; their shells and activity level have been great since I started using it. The 1.43 lb lasts a good while, so it’s a solid value for frequent feedings.

Excellent and prompt service

This is what I have been feeding my Red Eared Sliders for 24 years, once they were big enough to eat it. I once ran out and went to buy more, but the place I used to buy it from was out, so I tried a different brand and they would not touch it. I wound up having to go to another place and paying a lot more. Once I found it here on Amazon this is where I have been getting it from now for about 10 or 12 years now as it's almost always a far better price than I can get it anywhere locally.
