Feeding and Nutrition :: Post your pellet mixes

Spot gets half Reptomin and half Mazuri.

francinemarie, were uneaten Reptomin pellets staying in the tank? If so and the water was turning green, you might just fish out any uneaten pellets after 5 or 10 minutes.

no, Crush loves the Reptomin & ate it as soon as i put it in her tank. but i feel like the longer it wades in the tank water, the more it has a chance of changing the water color. it happened more often with Reptomin than the others brands that i've used

Hmm that's interesting. I have never experienced green water when feeding Reptomin.

yea i was hoping it wasn't the Reptomin, but as soon as i gave her other varieties of pellets, the water didn't change color as quick when using the Reptomin .

feed reptomin, rep-cal water turtle pellets and box turtle pellets and hikari. i mixed it all together and put it in a plastic container thats for index cards. i pick out the rep-cal and feed those to my box turtles, too.

No problem. Let me know how it works out. I guess at the time of my order they were having some issues with distributors. So hopefully it will be faster for you.

Ok Chris, I placed my order today. I also ordered some more Reptomin while I was at it. I'll let you know how long it takes to get delivered.

hey have any of you guys tried feeding this to your RES? i never saw it on the Petsmart website, but saw it at the store. i was mainly looking for the Hikari sticks, but it seems like it's only sold online so far. i thought i'd give this type a try

I saw it on clearance at Petsmart along with the Hikari etc. I just didn't buy it because I haven't heard anything about it and don't trust it yet.

Exo-terra is a very reputable company though, so I'd be fine with feeding it.

i've never seen my Petsmart sell the Hikari & this was on sale when i saw it. so i thought i'd give it a try. i'll let you guys know how it is when i feed her some . thank you Chris

You guys and your PetSmart clearance deals ALMOST have me wanting to go there... but I am very anti-PetSmart... it's a touch decision! I broke down and went there about a month ago to get Toby a new ReptiGlo CF bulb, since PetCo doesn't carry them. I might have to go again to check out the clearance items. I did have an awesome clearance find at PetCo today, but it was for hamster food

How much was the Exo-terra food on clearance? I think I'm going to petmsart again, probably pick some up.

lol, well i think it was about $2.20. i bought it a few days ago, so hopefully it's still on sale. i went there today & saw that only Exo-Terra's other reptile foods were on sale & their Aquatic turtle food were gone . going to Petsmart is like clothes shopping to me

[Chrisbarnett]

Lol. Nice. I love getting good turtle stuff ridiculously cheap.
