I boight my turtle these nature zone bites for aquatic turtles because i have a red eared slider. I was wondering if anyone knew if i am supposed to put them in a shallow dish i the water or on his turtle dock because all it says on the pack is sprinkle some in a shallow dish. :?

Your supposed to put them in his swimming water. Turtles can only eat when they're in the water, they can't get on their basking dock and eat. I've never head of these "nature zone bites", but I'd advise you to switch to Reptomin or another trusted brand.

Ive never heard of those either
I dont think that it is a staple food
You should get a staple food like Reptomin or Jurrasi diet

Turtles need water for food because they dont produce thier own siliva
So they count of the water for that

The water needs to cover all of his head

I've seen them but have never tried them on my turts. I'd be curious to know how your turtle likes them. Make them smaller if they're too large for your turtle to eat and put them in his feeding container/tank.
