Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food Growth Formula 13 oz.

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.

I love this formula for Isopods and they love them too. Provides a good amount of calcium and protein, and the pieces are small enough that each pod can grab their own piece and run away with it.

My turtle seams to like these. I wanted to give her something different instead of the same old food all of the time

The turtles are over 10 yrs old now. Seems to keep them in good shape

I should start by saying this "Zoo Med" brand is a good quality food for our Red Eared Slider.Found the little red eared slider laying upside down in our yard about a month ago and his shell has grown to 54mm wide (2.1"). Its main diet is Zoo Med hatchling formula (1/16" or 1.57mm) which fits in his mouth just right.As he grows to over 2" we wanted to find the next size food that's right for him.This Zoo Med "Growth Formula" pellet we just bought is too big for his mouth even though it states it's for turtles 2" and bigger. The label states the pellets are 3/16" (4.79mm) but they are actually bigger. Measured at 6 to 6.5mm which is way to big for the little ones mouth. I gave him one just to see but realized quickly it was too big and could possibly create a choking hazard. Took it out and broke it in half so he could eat it.I just want buyers to understand that it might be a little to early to feed this to a 2" or so red eared slider turtle and maybe wait until it fits in his mouth... :)In conclusion it's still good turtle food even though the measurements are not right. For now we'll keep feeding our little red eared slider his "Zoo Med" hatchling formula with occasional treats like blueberries, dried meal worms(yummy) and dried shrimp. :)

Great turtle food, its one of my turtles favorites, I keep buying it, but she's one turtle so it takes us a few years to go thru a container.

My turtle is thriving on these pellets.

Ok we wall know the food works so what I'm about to claim is a little unorthodox.. Stop wasting money on fish food and feed this to your goldfish. My turtle has a tendency to keep a few goldfish alive and this current batch is going 1.5 years strong. They're so darn big, I contemplate calling PetSmart to check if they sold me Koi Fish. It's all the same crushed-up bugs so just try it.
