## Overview

Zoo Med Natural Aquatic Turtle Food Maintenance Formula offers a scientifically balanced 35% protein pellet designed for aquatic turtles between 2-6 inches. These floating pellets align with turtles’ natural surface feeding behavior and contain no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. Recommended by zoos and veterinarians, this USA-made formula ensures premium nutrition for healthy growth and maintenance.

## Description

The 1 Aquatic turtle food has gone &34;natural&34; 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: Good quality large-size pellets old terrapins can't miss! - I bought these to replace Hikari turtle pellets that my local pet shop stopped bringing in. The pellets were larger than expected, but is still a good fit for one of my older terrapins. Most importantly is that my terrapins get the ideal nutrients required for their age. Hikari turtle pellets were at 40% protein content, but these Zoo Med maintenance ones are only 25% protein content. Hence, it may be a good idea to supplement it with some higher protein treats (e.g. shrimps).
Review: De qualité - C'est la nourriture principale de mes deux tortues de 14 ans. En alternance avec des crevettes fraiches et des endives, elles adorent et sont en pleine forme. Précision: les croquettes sont prévues pour des tortues de plus de 15cm de plastron. Elles existent en taille plus petite pour les tortues plus petites.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any vitamin A in it?**
A: Not sure, look on the information

**Q: Hi. Would this be a good supplemental food sorce for bullfrog tadpoles?**
A: No tadpoles need certain nutrients becaus eof the rapid growth and change

**Q: Would this be better for a red ear slider or the reptomin floating sticks?**
A: This is what I've been feeding my red ear sliders for years.  They seem to like it much better than the reptomin sticks and none of them have gotten sick or anything from eating it (they've definitely been growing over the years, too).  Seems like a good product to me!

**Q: Hi. Can this be used for Baby Turtle?**
A: The pellets are pretty big. I would not recommend this for a baby turtle. My adult turtle can only eat one at a time if that gives you an idea.
