Feeding and Nutrition

Hello Friends,

Have you guys fed your turtle :mrgreen:

one of these:

=> Wardley's Reptile Premium Sticks

=> Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food Pellets Maintenance Formula

=> Sera Raffy I Turtle Food

Any ideas about how they are?

So far I have fed them mix of these ones:

=> Tetra ReptoMin

=> Nutrafin Turtle Pellets

=> Exo Terra Pellets

Thank you.

I have used Reptomin, Omega, and a third one which I cannot remember (I know it wasn't one on the ones you mentioned). They both work well. I have heard good things about Wardley and I use ZooMed for my bulbs and some other items. However, I'm not sure what they mean by Maintenance Formula.

Hope that helps.

They recently had a 2 for 1 sale. Got 2 lbs of food for the price of one!
They also have food for your pet elephant, camel, or kangaroo.

I haven't tried those but I do mix up a few different brands for my turtles. They don't seem to have a preference

Awesome! lol

A good read, i refer to this to see how certain pellets stack up against others. http://theturtleroom.com/2012/04/27/com ... pplements/

Awesome DB4L!!!!! Thanks for posting these link!

Thanks a lot for the replies friends.

I am thinking about getting both Mazuri and ZooMed.

Any ideas about where can I find Mazuri Fresh Water Turtle Diet in Canada?

I disagree with the site on one thing, the reptomin is not as bad as being given credit for! If use it in conjunction with other pellets as a varied pellet diet, it works just fine. We don't feed as much pellets to an adult. More greens are offered than anything. I still to this day use reptomin with Omega-One. Any large pet supply store should offer turtle supplies and have a good selection of turtle pellets. I still recommend reptomin and Omega-One. I just offer a couple pellets of each (enough to fit the size of his head if it were hollow) to my 3 yrs. old male every other day.

Is there any site from where I can order Mazuri/ZooMed/Omega One all together?

I don't normally see Mazuri on sale except on their own site.

Petsmart here has all the brands. Impressive really!

Yes but you do exactly as they recommend. Combining with another pellet lol and omega-one at that, which is one of the best haha.

I know from my experience when i switched from reptomin to Mazuri i noticed my turtles sheddings went alot smoother compared to when they were on reptomin. Really made a difference with the boost of Vitamin E that Mazuri gave that reptomin lacks. Thats why i agree with them, need a combination with reptomin.

Ahhh now that part would make sense, I over shadowed the Vitamin E or there lack of. I might change Toku to Mazuri as well. It's another classic, I've been using it 10 yrs...... Haha. Thanks for posting this. I do like the Omega-One, it doesn't foul the water and Toku engulfs them whole, leaving no mess.
