Advantages

Pellet size S/M is matched to the mouth size of small and medium turtles, reducing waste and improving palatability. The dry format is shelf-stable, easy to measure for portioning and integrates into mixed diets alongside live or fresh foods.

• Daily maintenance feeding as part of a varied diet

When it may not be suitable
