So I went to PetSmart tonight to grab dog supplies, and some much needed cuttlebone and I bought a small bag of National Geographic Aquatic Turtle Entree as something to mix up Yertle's food menu (she is alternately eating frozed turtle diet cubes, Reptomin Pellets/Krill pellets, and for occasional snack, gammarus shrimp and a Turtle Chaser). It wasn't till I got home that I really noticed the ingredients:
Water
Apple Fiber
Soy Flour
Fish Meal
Dried Whole Egg
Sodium Alginate
Freeze Dried Crickets
Dried Mealworms
Dried Kale
Dried Spinach
Dried Tomato Pomace
Molasses
Fructose
Brown Sugar
Glycerin
Dried Carrots
Citric Acid (preservative)
Potassium Sorbate (preservative)
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Xanthan Gum
Added Color (FD&C Red #3)
It sounds like a lot of junk, but I was curious if it would be safe for a once a week meal, and if anyone had tried it on their turtles. Here's a picture of the packaging:
