I have two 6+ inch sliders. They have been raised on this food most of their lives. However, I did run out of it a couple of months ago, so I had to feed them repto sticks. Well to make the story short, within two weeks of feeding the repto sticks, both turtles shells started to pyramid. Well they are back on their right food, their shells have stopped pyramiding. I will make sure I never run out of this food again.

I have 3 turtles so as you can imagine if I purchase the small container of food it does not last very long. Finally a large container of turtle food ! Perfect for me

Nice thing about this food is there is never any leftovers to clean up. They also stay edible longer than the other food I use.

My turtles really like this food. They eat it up the second it's in their tank, but they're not very picky. I also like it because it doesn't sink until it's been in the tank for quite a while. So I have a chance to remove uneaten pieces before they cause a mess. My only issue with this food is that sometimes the next day after a feeding the tank will smell. It smells pretty icky, but it always goes away. I can't yet figure out whether this smell is from the turtle feces that they have after eating the food, or whether I accidentally fed them too much and the uneaten food is causing the smell. If you feed them in a separate area it might solve this problem, I don't know. But I like this food above other turtle food simply based on pellet size and diet balance, but the smell is a problem. It's great for breaking up their diet (I also feed greens, and once in a blue moon, fish).

With several of my Turtles getting larger, I needed some thing better then small sticks. They love it ! Seem healthier and more active since using this.

I have been using this product for years, the under 6" product made my turtles have a huge growth spurt. After 1 year of use they are now over 6" and will try the new formula.
