Zoo Med Reptisticks Floating Aquatic Turtle Dry Food, 8 oz

Mealtime for your aquatic turtle should feel a little like foraging in the wild, and Zoo Med Reptisticks are designed with that in mind. These floating sticks come in an 8-ounce size and are specially formulated to meet the needs of aquatic species of turtles, newts, frogs, and crabs. Because they float, your shelled friend can hunt them right at the surface, just as they would in nature.

Why aquatic turtle keepers reach for these 8-ounce floating Reptisticks:

• They are specially formulated for aquatic turtles, newts, frogs, and crabs, so one food covers several of your water-dwelling pets.
• The recipe is made with fish, shrimp, and kale to simulate the animal and plant material aquatic turtles eat in nature.
• Zoo Med includes added vitamins and minerals to round out the everyday diet.
• The floating format lets your turtle feed at the surface, encouraging natural foraging behavior.
• Zoo Med draws on over 25 years of experience researching the nutritional requirements of reptiles, a background the brand highlights.
• Feeding is simple: offer the sticks one to two times daily, per Zoo Med's guidance.
• Place a small portion in the water and let your turtle eat for up to 5 minutes, then remove any uneaten food with a net after one hour to keep the water tidy.
• The 8-ounce size gives you a practical everyday supply for regular feedings.
• It is made in the USA, a sourcing detail noted in the product tags.
• For variety, Zoo Med suggests rounding out the menu with their Can O Shrimp and turtle treats.

If you want a staple food that mirrors the mixed diet your aquatic turtle would find in the wild, these floating Reptisticks from Zoo Med make daily feeding easy and engaging. Serve a small portion at the surface, keep an eye on the clock, and net out the leftovers so your turtle stays well fed and their habitat stays clean.
