Description
The Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Dry Food, specifically the Gourmet Aquatic Turtle Food 6-oz, is a nutritious and enticing diet formulated for aquatic turtles, making it a crucial option among food for reptiles. This high-protein dry food combines specially crafted pellets blended with real dried shrimp, mealworms, and cranberries, mimicking the natural diet of many North American aquatic turtles. It supports the dietary needs of turtles with shell lengths between two and six inches, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and other trace nutrients for healthy growth and development.
Scientifically balanced, the diet contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, offering a natural and wholesome food source. The floating pellets promote natural feeding behavior, encouraging turtles to feed at the water's surface, which helps maintain water clarity and quality by limiting excess waste.
