Quick Product Snapshot

Ingredient & Formula Breakdown

ReptiSticks are built around a core of fish and shrimp, providing the animal-based protein that aquatic turtles and similar species naturally consume. Kale adds a plant-based component that reflects the varied diet these animals encounter in the wild. The inclusion of added vitamins and minerals rounds out the formula, helping to fill nutritional gaps that can occur in captive feeding environments.

The dry stick format is designed to float at the water surface, which encourages natural feeding behavior and makes it straightforward to observe how much your animal is consuming during each session.

Feeding Guide

Feed one to two times daily. Place a small portion of ReptiSticks in the water and allow your animal to eat for up to 5 minutes. Remove any uneaten food with a net after one hour to help maintain water quality. For additional dietary variety, Zoo Med recommends supplementing with Can O Shrimp and turtle treats.
