Nutritionally Balanced Floating Food for Aquatic Reptiles
Zoo Med ReptiSticks are a specially formulated floating food designed to meet the nutritional needs of aquatic turtles, newts, frogs, and crabs. Crafted with over 25 years of reptile nutrition research behind them, ReptiSticks deliver a diet that closely mirrors what these animals eat in the wild.
Made with fish, shrimp, and kale, this formula simulates the natural combination of animal and plant material that aquatic turtles rely on for balanced nutrition.

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.
