My turtle won't touch Wardley's. She is happy with Tetra Reptomin foodsticks & I have been feeding her that for 17 yrs.

Unless 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.

Oh well, they only cost me about 3 bucks at Wal-Mart not much loss their. I tell you one thing I can really tell a difference on how clean the water stays when I feed my two RES's in seperate containers. Need just buy like the 2 lb. ReptoMin.

yeah i noticed that too, once you get em on the reptomin they wont eat the wardleys.

That explains a lot! I always wondered if this is why Sheba won't touch the Wardley's food.

I 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.

I 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.

my turtle used to eat wardley, and he loved them!!
.. then i found out they wernt as good as the other brands, so now i feed zoo-med and reptomin...

What is sooo bad about the Wardleys??? My turtles have no objections to them.....

[marisa]

Nothing 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.
