Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 5:53 pmMy turtle won't touch Wardley's. She is happy with Tetra Reptomin foodsticks & I have been feeding her that for 17 yrs.
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 8:54 pmUnless they've changed the formula, Wardley pellets have not had all of the nutrients contained in some of the other pellets. If you give them, I'd supplement them with others, maybe rotate a few different kinds. Reptomin and Mazuri both have good reputations, and Reptomin is really easy to find. Zoo-Meds and Nutrafin are two others that are popular.

That explains a lot! I always wondered if this is why Sheba won't touch the Wardley's food.
Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 1:44 pmI have a friend who has had a turtle (unsure of kind) but he's had it for 15 years, and his turtle will eat a mix of wardlys and reptomin. It's all up to the turtle i guess.
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 12:45 amI feed my guys the Wardleys and they like 'em and the ones I give them have calcium in them. I never gave the Reptomin...maybe I should give the Reptomin a whirl when the Wardleys are gone.

Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 9:27 amWhat is sooo bad about the Wardleys??? My turtles have no objections to them.....
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2006 9:44 pmNothing really bad. See my post above about Wardleys not having all the nutrients some other brands do (but as I said, I don't know if they've changed/improved the formula). There's nothing wrong with alternating pellets, so you could use Wardleys along with another brand/brands. None of my turtles eats only 1 brand of pellet.
