can someone give me the link for the recipe or can someone tell me. For some reason all my petstores have no turtle food of any kind except tortoise, not even my grocery store (wardly) :( and today was supposed to be there feeding day. I have some leftover reptomin i put in and gave them some extra lettuce to hold them

There were a bunch when I was looking into it. If you google "turtle pudding" a few different ones will come up.

Oh, also I found another on the Austin's turtle page site.

and scroll almost to the bottom. I don't know if you really need the food coloring though........

Is seems odd that your local pet stores are all out of turtle food...must be some turtle convention going on...LOL. You could also try on-line and remember that they do not need pellets every day or so. Veggies all day and every day are very good for turtles. If I run low or out of something, I supplement it with other things I feed them but only for a short time. And then get back to their normal feeding schedule.
