Zoo Med Natural Aquatic Turtle Food, Hatchling Formula, 8-Ounce

I have been using this Zoo Med Natural Aquatic Turtle Food for about 1 year. I use it to feed my baby turtle and also my betta fish. My turtle really loves it and eats it very quickly every time. My betta fish also eat it, which is great because I only need one type of food for both. The pellets are a good size and easy for small animals to eat. The quality is very good, and the food smells like fish meal and does not break apart in water easily. Overall, this is a reliable and simple food that works well for both turtles and fish, and I would recommend it.

My Turtle likes it thats all that matters....

I have four hatchling Red Eared Sliders. Their shells are about 1 1/4” around. I have had them for 3 weeks and had originally bought them ReptoMin Baby Floating food sticks as their primary food. I also got them the ReptoTreat gammarus sun dried freshwater shrimp for snack/treat purposes. I gave them the ReptoMin Baby food sticks to begin with, and this was after having them for a week and I know they had not had anything to eat. They acted like the ReptoMin baby food sticks were not even there. They totally ignored them. After 3 or 4 hours they had not eaten even one of them. So, I decided to give them some of the shrimp and BAM! they instantly devowered every one I gave them. I read it was not a good idea to have hatchlings eat shrimp for their main diet item. So, I gave them some fresh Romain lettuce, the dark greenest part of the leaf and they liked that. Over the next week I continued to give them the ReptoMin baby food sticks and they continued to refuse to eat them. I even soaked them in tuna water, as some other people on the Internet had suggested, and they still refused them. They did like all insects that I threw in their terrarium. I also found some small worms in my wife’s flower bed and they ate those as well instantly when they were offered. I decided to give up on the ReptoMin baby food sticks. I got back on Amazon, read reviews, watched videos, and made a decision to buy the Zoo Med Aquatic turtle food hatching formula. It was stupid cheap, 5$ for an 8 ounce bottle. That’s half a pound! The pellets are very small about 1/16 of an inch. I was worried at first, but was pleased with the amount of food. I got for the money, now if they would only eat it. To my surprise, they went to the new food immediately, and started gobbling up every little piece they could get to until every single piece was gone. Wow! What a difference. I will say, do not waste your money on ReptoMin Baby floating food sticks for your baby turtles unless you want to have a big disappointment at feeding time. This Zoo Med aquatic turtle food is a great bang for the buck and your baby turtles will eat it up immediately! Thank you, Zoo Med and Amazon for solving my baby turtle feeding issue.

Hatchlings do love these but past that age, turtles only eat these if there is nothing else in the tank.

Great value for this purchase.

My Reeves/Chinese Pond turtle LOVED this. Hahahaha. But, the pellets are SOOO tiny that they can spill out very easily when pouring. I think a narrow opening would be better. Or, just scopp it out via spoon or bottle cap rather than trying to pour a little onto the inside of the lid like I was doing initially.

The food is amazing for them, my turtle is feeding for 2 years!!
