"i have had my turtle (common musk turtle-Stenotherus odoratus) for 19 years now and over the years, i have tried a number of different aquatic turtle food. unlike many turtles, aquatic or terrestrial, my turtle is a very picky eater. he absolutely will not eat just anything. i suppose he is more like humans in that matter. anyway, a few years ago, i purchased this product, wardley's aquatic turtle food, and he absolutely loves it! in fact, he will not eat anything else. not only does he love it, but it seems to be the correct mixture percentage-wise in protein/carbohydrates/fat and very healthy for him. unfortunately, turtles are among the most difficult reptiles to keep in terms of their health because they (all turtles) are susceptible to a number of malnutrition issues and diseases. just because a turtle may eat what you are feeding it doesn't mean it is the correct thing to feed it. however, with wardley's food, it is obvious that those responsible for the product did their research on the proper amounts of protein, carbs and fat and to include other essential vitamins and minerals. to sum up, depending on the species of aquatic turtle that you may have (red-eared slider, musk turtle, map turtles, and similar), this is an excellent product and i highly recommend it."
