01 / Calcium balance

Wild sword prawns × seasonal vegetables:
a premium, complete, calcium-rich recipe.

We use plenty of premium wild sword prawns, sardines and akiami shrimp (a full 30% combined), paired with seasonal cabbage, carrots, pumpkin, mulberry leaves and other natural vegetables. It provides plenty of calcium and vitamins (A, D3) with a 3:1 calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, and 100% of the protein comes from real fresh meat, vegetables and algae. With a natural flavor they love and complete nutrition, it's made for red-eared sliders, diamondback terrapins, roofed turtles and other juvenile aquatic turtles with a 6–15 cm shell, so they can enjoy a delicious, healthy staple every day.

02 / The making

Live B. subtilis probiotics:
cut water pollution and odor by 80%

Live B. subtilis (BS) probiotics designed for turtles quickly establish healthy gut flora, helping turtles fully absorb the nutrients in their food. They effectively inhibit harmful and putrefactive bacteria and break down the ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in waste, reducing water odor and pollution by up to 80%. Give your turtles a healthier home!

03 / Everyday nourishment

Mushroom polysaccharides × spirulina × rich vitamins:
natural color, health and vitality, all boosted!

Packed with mushroom polysaccharides, spirulina, high-concentration stabilized vitamins (A, D3, C, E), a complete B-vitamin complex and minerals, this formula gives turtles all-round nutritional support, bringing out their most natural, vivid colors without dull or off tones while maintaining healthy metabolism and immunity.

So, when I was gifted my turtle he was just a tiny little coin and in the store my friend bought it from gave her some food for my turtle but he never liked it. This is when I did my research and found this brand. He absolutely loves it!. I once made a mistake of trying to be adventurous and I switched the brand to another one and he hated it. He stopped eating for days or barely ate so I immediately bought this brand back. Like I said, he loves it and I would say that he is very healthy and grew super fast! Definitely recommend, it just purchased a new bottle so it is truly worth it.

Original review from 2024: Our rescued Eastern River Cooter, Pooter, loves this food. Since dining on it, have noticed him/her being more active, ie swimming about, basking on a rock under our little pond waterfall.Update: We now have 2 rescued Eastern River Cooters in our small pond--the 2024 rescue (Cooter) and early 2025 rescue (Pooter)...and what we suspect is their "love child," Scooter. All 3 devour this food. If turtles can look happy--I swear, they smile at me when anticipating breakfast and dinner--this food gives them nibbling pleasure and essential nourishment.

My painter, Squirt, gobbles this up so fast that it must taste great! So much better quality than comparable foods. I love this brand and use them for my fish and turtle foods. Size is perfect for my 1 yr old turtle, they don’t break apart and float like they are supposed to. You get a lot with the large container and well worth the money. There is a smell when you open the container but it isn’t bad, and doesn’t last after you close the container.

My turtles love this stuff more than shrimp. One of my turtles had a vitamin D deficiency and her eyes swelled shut but I whole heartedly think this food in combination with some beta carotene capsules helped her bounce back and her eyes were fine in 7 days.

My Juvenile Red Ears Love this! The first day they weren't so sure, but the second day and for weeks now they gobble them up 2 at a time! Im happy to have found a food that provides the veggies they need as they won't eat fresh veggies right now!

Our turtle LOVES this food. We started him on the hatchling formula and he's thriving. Recently switched him to the juvenile and he's still enjoying feeding time. He'll swim right into my son's feeding bowl and eagerly wait for his portion.

My turtle loved this product 🥰, I would say that the bottle is small compared to the price, it comes sealed with a mini clear spoon inside 🫶🏼. The pebbles are also not that big I would say for baby turtles

Es un producto que compro con frecuencia porque contiene todos los nutrientes y proteínas que necesita mi mascota para crecer saludable, trae bastante, me rinde varios meses, y se conserva en buen estado

Turtles loved it. They look forward to feeding time. But just wished it was a bigger amount for the same price. Seems a little pricey. When I’m low on money I tend to skip it for a different brand
