Feeding and Nutrition :: Turtle Bites??

[turboturtle8]

I sometimes feed my turtles like these pellet types things they are in the shape of a ball though and they are called turtle bites.Only they are made with fruits.Would they be considered pellets and should I feed them it on a daily basis


These are what the pellets look like






*see the turtle on the cover of the bottle he is the same one I used as my avatar.I thought he was cute

Those are treats. Every now and then a few of those wouldnt hurt, but dont feed it every day. We all know RES+fruit=unhealthy RES.

Yeah if feed it to them every once in a while.They do like them though but I try to limit them

Are they HBH Turtle Bites? If so, I'm told most turtles really like them (I've never fed them to mine). I'd get a pellet like Reptomin as a staple and feed the bites more as a treat.

Marisa-Yeah I feed them regular pellets but I feed them those as a treat.My turtles love them though

Those pellets are fine in my opinion. They are made with fruits/veggies I believe and still provide good nutrition-I offer this like I offer nutrafin and they seem to like it.

I think you should get Reptomin, its so much healthier, Turtle Bites, to me is a snack, cuz its made of fruits( which is not really that nutrient packed), and also you can give your turtle veggies in replacement

It isn't just fruit and such and if you read the ingredients you will see good things like vitamin D3 supplement as well as calcium as such. It's a unique food in my opinion..

You should put both sticks in the water and see what he eats first =)

I feed it to them as a treat they seem to like them way more then pellets
