The maintenance pellet for adult aquatic turtles — those with a carapace over about 15cm. Protein drops to 25% and fibre rises to 8% against the growth formula, which suits an animal that has finished growing and is now simply being kept in condition. The pellets float, so you can see what is being eaten and net out what is not.
Benefits
- 25% protein — maintenance level rather than growth level.
- Floating pellet — easy to portion and easy to remove.
- Kale and dried kelp alongside the fish meal base.
- Added calcium — 1.3–1.7%, with vitamin D3.

Feeding Guide
Place pellets on the water and allow at least an hour to feed. Net out and discard anything left after that. Adjust the amount to condition — adult turtles put on weight easily and are commonly overfed.
For growing turtles under 15cm, use the Growth Formula. More in Reptile Food.
