{"product_id":"exo-terra-turtle-food-hatchling-floating-pellets","title":"Exo Terra Turtle Food Hatchling Floating Pellets","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first-stage diet in Exo Terra's aquatic turtle range: a small floating pellet at 43% minimum protein and 10% minimum fat, built for the fast growth of a newly hatched slider, map turtle or similar semi-aquatic species. That richness is the point at this age and the reason not to keep feeding it later — a growing juvenile should step down to 35% protein and an adult to 25%. The 300g pack is generous for the amount a hatchling actually eats, so store it sealed and dry, and buy to how many animals you are raising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 300g pack (Exo Terra item PT3244).
