- This 5/32" (3.9mm) extruded floating pellet holds together longer than other expanded & compressed pellets, and will retain its nutrient composition much longer in the water. While Mazuri extruded diets cost more per pound, they are higher in nutrients, and you actually have to feed less to your turtles- which makes Mazuri Aquatic Turtle a tremendous value.
- Extruded Pellets Have The Best Digestibility Of The 3 Pellet Manufacturing Techniques(Extruded, Expanded, Compressed), The Best Feed Conversion Rates, And Use Carbohydrates(starch) As Binders So "Nutritionally Blank" Ingredients Are Not Used To Bind The Pellet. Better Feed Conversions And Reduction In Total Biological Load In The Water Column Is The Result.
- 5lbs(2.2kg) Of Feed Heat Sealed In A Heavy Duty Black Mylar Resealable Pouch And 2 Ounce Scoop.
- Most Orders Received By Noon Eastern Time(M-F) Will Ship The Same Day.
Fresh Water Turtle Diet is designed for all stages of freshwater turtles, such as Painted and Red-eared turtles. Mazuri® Aquatic Turtle Diet should be fed to juvenile or adult carnivorous turtles one time per day, three to five times per week. The diet should be scattered on the water, where it will float. For best results, feed only the amount of diet that the turtles will readily consume in one day.The turtles will eat the floating diet for 15 to 20 minutes, and then they will bask for a period of time. The turtles will return later in the day and eat the remaining diet from the bottom.Do not overfeed as excess feed will decompose resulting in poor water quality. The actual amount of diet the turtles will eat varies with temperature.
