does anyone reccomend a vitamin to give to your turtles, for example, reptolife plus? is giving them vitamins even needed?

reptomin 1x a day
red leaf or dandilion every other day

also, should i feed them different types of pellets like every other day or something? their diet isnt quite varied...?

should i be feedingt them baby reptomin? what are some other good pellets?

I'm not really sure about vitiman but i bought something called turtle conditioner it has calcium and protects turtles from getting soft shell..

Hope that helps I know it wasn't really what you were looking for..

They should have a varied diet, for this you can buy pellets from another brand (Zoo med pellets, Mazuri, jurassic diet, to name a few are very good) remember to add greens (red leaf, romaine, dandelion leaves are all good).

Giving several different brands of pellets is good. Here's info on supplements:

I drop one centrum vitamin in the tank a week. Larger ones eat them smaller ones let it get into the water and drink and swim in it and get the vitamins they need. One human store brand centrum for up to 30 gallon tank of water, then use 2 vitamins in above 30 gallons.
