William Rees –
My hatchling turtle has been eating this food consistently for two months. The pellets float well and the turtle always goes for them at the surface. I noticed better growth and more energy since switching. Easy to feed and no waste.
Ryan Tucker –
The food is easy to use and the floating pellets are convenient. My turtle consumes it quickly and seems healthy. A little more protein than standard food, which is good for fast-growing hatchlings.
