## Overview

Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food Growth Formula (13 oz) is a premium, low-protein floating pellet food designed specifically for growing aquatic turtles. Formulated to promote healthy shell and internal organ development, it suits a wide range of species including red ear sliders and painted turtles. Made in the USA, this scientifically crafted formula ensures easy feeding at the water surface while minimizing tank waste, making it the go-to choice for millennial pet owners who demand quality, convenience, and visible results.

## 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.

Review: My turtles love this stuff - I've been purchasing this turtle food for a while now because my turtles really seem to love the taste of it; does not have a strong oder- actually smells good, stays fresh, is not artificially colored, and keeps my turtles healthy. Easy to use; as soon as my turtles see me pick up the jar they swim to the top of the tank waiting for me to throw some in. They don't dirty the tank; they're low priced, but great quality.

This has been our go to turtle food. We have a red eared slider and I've cycled through several different types of food, from several pet stores. Ultimately we landed on this one and it worked. He has never had an issue eating, he put on weight and his shell cleaned up. Also, it was the best price on Amazon. 5 stars.
