Automated Daily Feeding for Aquatic Turtles
The Zoo Med Turtlematic Automatic Daily Turtle Feeder takes the hassle out of feeding your aquatic turtle on a consistent schedule. Whether you are away from home or simply want to establish a reliable daily routine, the Turtlematic dispenses food automatically so your turtle is fed on time, every time.
A built-in 12-hour sleep function prevents nighttime dispensing, reducing waste and keeping feeding aligned with your turtle's natural activity cycle. The feeder mounts anywhere on your tank and rotates 360 degrees for flexible positioning to suit your setup.
Zoo Med's Aquatic Turtle Food bottles can screw directly onto the feeder top, increasing food capacity and making refills straightforward. An available side-mounted port allows you to attach an air pump, which provides positive pressure to the feeding chamber to reduce humidity and help keep food fresh longer. Runs on three AA batteries, included.

Design and Functionality
The Turtlematic is designed to mount directly onto your turtle tank and rotate 360 degrees, giving you flexibility in positioning the dispenser over the water. Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food bottles thread directly onto the feeder top, making it easy to increase food capacity without additional adapters. The side-mounted air pump port is an optional addition that helps maintain positive pressure in the feeding chamber, reducing moisture buildup and extending food freshness.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
Mount the Turtlematic on your tank in a position that allows food to dispense into the water. The feeder rotates 360 degrees for precise placement. Attach a Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food bottle directly to the feeder top to increase capacity. For extended freshness, connect an air pump to the side-mounted port. Install three AA batteries (included) before use.
Care and Maintenance
Monitor the food level regularly and refill as needed. Check battery level periodically to ensure consistent operation. If using the air pump port, inspect the connection to confirm positive pressure is maintained in the feeding chamber.
