Review: Franklin has been eating this brand for 21 years now. Trusted product!
Review: I recently started using the Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food Growth Formula for my turtles, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! This food has quickly become a staple in their diet. Pros: High-quality nutrition: The growth formula is packed with essential nutrients that promote healthy growth and development in aquatic turtles. My turtles seem more active and vibrant since I switched to this food. Great taste: My turtles absolutely love this food! They eagerly come to the surface during feeding time, which is always a good sign. It’s nice to see them enjoy their meals. Balanced diet: The formula provides a well-rounded diet, including protein, vitamins, and minerals, which is crucial for their overall health. I feel confident knowing I'm giving them quality nutrition. Convenient packaging: The 30 oz size is perfect for both small and larger setups. It lasts a long time, making it a great value for the price. Cons: Size of pellets: Some of the pellets can be a bit large for smaller turtles. I recommend breaking them into smaller pieces for easier consumption, especially for hatchlings or juveniles. Overall, the Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food Growth Formula is an excellent choice for turtle owners looking to provide their pets with a nutritious and enjoyable diet. It’s effective, appealing, and offers great value. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to keep their turtles healthy and thriving!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How big are the pieces?**
A: No they’re small I use them for
My musk turtle he’s only 4 inches long and loves them

**Q: Is it 10oz? Or is it 4.8oz?**
A: The 1 I bought is a 10 oz.

**Q: What is the size of the pellets?  I have an adult female musk turtle, and she's an awkward eater.  The bigger the pellets, the better.**
A: The pellets are small but not hatchling size.  They are not big and round like the regular zoo med turtle food either...someone in the middle.  However, my musk turtle is an adult size and eats them just fine. I would buy again.

**Q: Does this product provide enough calcium for a red eared sliders diet**
A: I use this product and I also use calcium powder but my turtle has not had any problems with just the food alone. Hope this helps.
