Features

  • DAILY FOOD FOR BOX TURTLES This 16 oz dry formula is made for everyday feeding of box turtles, combining grains and poultry meal. Designed as a practical and easy-to-serve option, it offers complete and balanced nutrition for box turtles in a controlled feeding routine. It can be served on its own or mixed with fresh fruits, vegetables, or insects to provide variety.
  • VITAMINS & MINERALS INCLUDED Contains a selection of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, D3, E, C, and trace nutrients. These ingredients are intended as part of a regular feeding schedule. Formulated as an omnivorous diet, it can be supplemented with fresh fruits, vegetables, or insects to add natural variety.
  • SELECTED INGREDIENT BLEND Made with grains, poultry meal, plant oils, calcium, amino acids, and plant extracts, including yucca schidigera to improve nutrient absorption. This blend is based on established reptile diet formulations and offers a highly palatable option that box turtles readily eat.
  • MOISTEN BEFORE FEEDING Dry formula should be mixed with water to create a softer texture that is easier for turtles to eat. Offer portions your turtle can finish within 12 hours, adjusting as needed. Fresh fruits, vegetables, or insects can be added for variety. Moistening the food makes it simpler to serve and ensures the formula is convenient & cost-effective for everyday feeding routines.
  • FEEDING SUGGESTIONS Box turtles typically eat during daylight hours, especially in the morning and evening. Remove uneaten food daily to maintain a clean feeding area. Moistened food can be mixed with fruits, vegetables, or insects for variety. Always provide a bowl of fresh, clean water alongside meals. This formula is intended only for reptile use and offers a simple, practical option for feeding box turtles daily.

  • for picky eaters
Turtles can be picky and this is the only food he seems to like. I went through other brands and types. Now, this is what I stay with. I moisten it an lay it on a bed of fresh greens, or some other veggies. A strawberry for a treat.

  • Success
Our 35+ year old eastern box turtle, very picky eater, tried multiple brands of dry food, this is the only one she’ll eat

  • Box turtles love it.
This is the best box turtle food I've found so far. I do soak it in water to soften prior to placing it in the food dish.

  • Satisfies my fussy box turtles
At our house we call these the turtle’s Lucky Charms. Maybe we have fussy and picky turtles because they snub their little noses at anything but T-Rex pellets. I’ve tried other dried and even canned turtle food and they won’t touch it. But the T-Rex gets gobbled up every time. I soften these with a little water and put the Lucky Charms on lettuce leaves for breakfast. I only T-Rex any more. Turtle approved taste and color lol. ... show more

  • good value
reliable. my go-to for supplementing my box turtles' live food. the size of the pellets is a bit on the small side for my preference, but it works well and a little goes a long way.

  • She Loves It
This product used to be sold at pet stores, i wonder why they don’t any more. It’s so expensive here but of course this is the only dry food my tortoise will eat. I guess I’ll have to dish out the dough to make her happy lol.
