Review on 30 oz Growth Formula Natural Aquatic Turtle Food by Zoo Med by Dwayne Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great food for turtles, just feed them in a separate bowl!

I've been using this turtle food for over a year for my two turtles and they love it. Other commenters feed their turtles right in the aquarium and have water pollution issues. If you want to reduce the frequency of tank cleaning, purchase a clear plastic container and feed the turtles in that container for 20-30 minutes. When they're done eating, put them back in the tank and empty the dirty water down the sink. So I feed my 2 year old turtles every other day/every other day and only have to clean the tank once every month and a half. A good filter helps too. Feeding the turtles in their tank is not the right way to do this, as the water gets polluted very quickly and can kill any fish that are in the turtle tank. The 30 ounce size seems to last about 6 months, but I also mix this food with dried red shrimp to treat them. Just don't buy in bulk until you know your turtles love this food! (My turtles absolutely hate Tetra ReptoMin Sticks.)
