It features a high-protein recipe free from artificial additives, scientifically crafted to support rapid growth and healthy development. Loved by turtle owners for its palatability and nutritional integrity, this 8-ounce pack delivers convenience and quality in every bite.

## Description

The #1 Aquatic turtle food has gone "natural" 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: I Recommend This ✨️🔥 - Awesome turtle food mine eats it in under 30 seconds 🐢
Review: Hatching Red Eared Sliders will eat this right away. - 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 desertcart, 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 desertcart for solving my baby turtle feeding issue.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used for a baby painted turtle?**
A: If you are referring a hatchling as “baby” turtle then these pellets are too large. You need the hatchling product from this line. I feed all my turtles ( RES, Cumberland, yellow belly, etc)  from this product line. Then mixed it with shrimp or other food sources.

**Q: Sinking or floating pellets?**
A: Floating

*by M***U on August 14, 2025*

Our sweet little hatchling has enjoyed these! Hes grown quite nicely over the last 2 months and this has been pertinent for his meals in addition to produce. He has upgraded to bigger pellets now but these were a key in his healthy growth!!
