Give your turtles a healthier home!

They swim right up to the surface during feeding time, which shows how much they enjoy the flavor.Nutritionally rich: Enriched with calcium and Vitamin D, this food is perfect for supporting healthy shell growth and overall well-being. It gives me peace of mind knowing I’m providing them with quality nutrition.Easy to digest: The sticks break down easily in the water, making it simple for my turtles to consume without causing any waste issues in the tank.Good packaging: The packaging is practical and keeps the product fresh.

I have been using this brand since my turtles were baby tiny hatchlings...my turtles have always eaten this brand turtle food...its frustrating because we want our pets to be healthy and happy...mine are spoiled and picky..and of course well loved..but I got so frustrated trying to find what they would eagerly eat..and with water turtles they have to eat under water..so that can limit sprinkling calcium on their foods ...so its also important to be getting them their vitamins and minerals they need in their diet...you can see from the image that I have graduated now to the larger size of pellets..they have the smallest size,,a medium and now they are enjoying this larger size.. I really recommend this product...

I recently tried the Ultra Fresh Turtle Nutri Stick for my aquatic turtles, and it’s been a game-changer. They absolutely love it! The wild sword prawn flavor seems to be a favorite, and they eagerly swim up when it’s feeding time. The sticks float well, making it easy for them to grab.The food is enriched with calcium and vitamin D, which is great for shell health. I’ve noticed their colors becoming more vibrant and their activity levels increasing. Plus, the tank stays cleaner longer, as there's minimal waste.AmazonThe only downside is the smell—it’s a bit strong, but that’s to be expected with seafood-based products. Overall, I’m very satisfied and will continue using this as a staple in their diet.

The Ultra Fresh Turtle Nutri Stick (Wild Sword Prawn, Calcium & Vitamin D Enriched) is a fantastic turtle food, especially for picky eaters. My turtle took to it quickly, which is always a win when trying something new.I love that it’s made from all-natural ingredients and includes calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics to support healthy growth, shell strength, and digestion. The sticks are a good size, don’t cloud the water much, and are easy to portion. High-quality, nutritious, and well accepted—highly recommend for turtle owners looking for a premium food option! 🐢💚

The Diamondback Terrapin that has now lived with us for 23 years (Happy Birthday Mo) can be difficult to find a new food that he likes. This turtle has scoffed at shrimp! I tried this one because of the video that shows a Diamondback chewing this stuff up. Oh yeah my little dude does too. It's a bit messy in the tank but not too bad. Occasionally I take him out of the tank & feed him in a plastic tub. A bit expensive but seems to be a very good quality food item for the little bugger.

Been using this brand since he was a baby. I once decided to buy another one just to try and he wouldn’t eat it so I bought it again. After two years I ran out of his food and had to purchase one that came the same day (very known brand) that cost me 2 times more than this one and he didn’t liked it at all. He did not ate for 2 days until this was delivered. He goes crazy for this brand so I am never switching again. 100000/10 recommended by my pink belly side neck turtle ❤️

This turtle food has been great for my little guy! He eats it eagerly every time, and I’ve noticed his shell looks healthier and more vibrant since switching to this brand. The pellets are the right size and don’t cloud the water, which is a huge plus. It’s also packed with the nutrients turtles need to stay active and strong. Definitely a staple in our tank routine — highly recommend for any turtle owner!

Our Tuttle says, NOM NOM NOM - I want more! I figure that is a pretty good endorsement as my turtle doesn't speak. The odor from the canister is low and the pellets appear to be uniform in color and the size is perfect for our turtle. The larger canister makes it a relatively good value, and is durable enough to last until it is all used up. We rate this a perfect 4 webbed feet, turtle approve!

I tried this version of turtle food when he was a hatchling. The problem was that the it really didn't float and the filter would suck it in. But I wanted to try it as an adult, and he wasn't being a picky eater. I put more than enough in his tank. And nothing was left to clean out the tank. And I'm happy that it doesn't break down in the water so quickly as the other brand that I have tried.

My Turtle Fred is trying to turn his life around, and these Nutri Sticks have helped him kick his drug problem. I found Fred in a mud puddle outside a crack den a few years ago. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to help him beat his addiction. Wish I had bought Fred these Nutri Sticks a couple years ago! Fred is even thinking of enrolling in a Fish School now! Thanks Nutri Stick!!
