My turtle LOVES it
The Mazuri Nutritionally Complete Aquatic Turtle Food has been fantastic for my aquatic turtles! Iâve been using it for a while, and my turtles are thriving on it. The pellets are the perfect size for them, and they seem to enjoy the taste.Pros:Balanced nutrition: This food is packed with everything my turtles need to stay healthy, from essential vitamins to a good protein source. Itâs great to know Iâm feeding them a complete diet.Floats well: The pellets float on the waterâs surface, making it easy for my turtles to find and eat. Thereâs less waste since the food doesnât immediately sink.Supports shell health: Iâve noticed that my turtlesâ shells are looking stronger and more vibrant since switching to this formula.Suitable for all sizes: Both my juvenile and adult turtles are able to eat the pellets without any trouble.Cons:Slightly higher price: Itâs a bit more expensive than some other brands, but I believe the quality and nutrition make it worth it.Overall, I highly recommend Mazuri Aquatic Turtle Food for any freshwater turtle owner looking for a nutritionally complete and high-quality diet. My turtles are active, healthy, and love this food!

Great Turtle Food
Turtle loves this food and the pellets are a nice big size for my turtle, maybe about 1/4 inch round. It definitely is going to last longer than other name brand pellets I’ve bought in the past. I am looking forward to purchasing the bigger bags in the future! I would recommend opening with scissors because I ruined the resealable part trying to use the tear line.

Recommended to me
This brand was recommended by a turtle care site. My turtles LOVE it. They always splash around for food but when I put in these pellets, they eat with vigor.

Great Quality Aquatic Turtle Food â Highly Recommended!
Iâve been feeding my aquatic turtles the Mazuri Freshwater Formula Aquatic Turtle Food for a few weeks now, and I couldnât be more impressed. Hereâs my detailed 5-star review:1. Nutritionally Complete:Mazuriâs freshwater formula is packed with the nutrients my turtles need to thrive. It contains a perfect blend of protein, vitamins, and minerals, ensuring my turtles are getting all the essential nutrients for healthy growth and strong shells. I love knowing that this food is formulated by experts to provide my pets with a balanced diet.2. Turtles Love It:Both of my turtles seem to love the taste of this food! They eagerly swim to the surface every time I drop some pellets into the water. The pellets are the perfect size for them, and Iâve noticed they eat it all up quickly. Itâs nice to see them so excited about mealtime!3. High-Quality Ingredients:I trust Mazuri for their commitment to using high-quality ingredients in their products. This formula is free from artificial colors, and it uses whole ingredients like fish meal and shrimp meal, which are great for my turtlesâ health. Itâs good to know Iâm feeding them something thatâs not only tasty but also healthy.4. Great Value for the Price:The 12 oz bag offers great value for the amount of food you get. The pellets last a long time, and the bag is resealable, which helps keep the food fresh. Iâve found that it doesnât create a lot of waste in the tank, so I donât have to clean up as often.5. Promotes Healthy Shells and Growth:Since switching to Mazuri, Iâve noticed a difference in my turtlesâ shellsâthey seem to be stronger and healthier. Iâm also seeing steady growth, which is great! This food has definitely helped improve their overall well-being.Final Thoughts:If youâre looking for a high-quality, nutritious, and easy-to-feed aquatic turtle food, I highly recommend Mazuri Freshwater Formula. It provides a balanced diet that my turtles love, and I can see the benefits in their health and growth.ð¢ Five stars for excellent nutrition, great value, and happy turtles!

seems to be high quality
The pellets are much smaller than I had expected them to be. they’re not nearly as porous as most turtle foods I’ve purchased in the past. they almost feel oily to the touch? but overall they seem to be high quality. They don’t smell nearly as bad as other turtle foods I’ve purchased, and haven’t dirtied up the water. My RES seems to be indifferent to the flavor and eats them along with the rest of his food just fine. Bag was smaller than expected, but so was the pellet size.EDIT: I’ve been feeding this to my turtle for about 7 months now and i’ve noticed a significant improvement in his color. His scales and shell are more vibrant, and while his eyes were always clear, they now look even brighter. The most noticeable change has been his red ear, it’s a vivid red now. it had been darkening with age (he’s 17), which I had assumed was normal. I still don’t like how much corn/wheat/soy/gluten meal they shove into this, but clearly it must be doing something right with vitamins that the others don’t. I’m going to continue to keep this food in with his pellet rotation, but the price is still a bit high for the amount of product you’re actually getting.

Excellent food source for Box Turtles
This is a very handy protein source for my Chinese Box Turtles. It contains several protein sources, which is good for their nutrition. I just mix it in with their veggie buffet, add a little water, and let it all sit for a few minutes before presenting it to my turtles. They love it and just gobble it right up. I have raised my girls from hatchlings, and they are almost three years old now and are healthy and growing. I feed the Mazuri every other day. The food is a good value for the money. I highly recommend it.

Good quality and cheaper
My turtle LOVES this food. We couldn’t find any bigger bags of turtle food at Walmart, and they were insanely priced there as well. This was the best buy and will last awhile. Highly recommend!
Pablo Escobar –
This is great turtle food but I’ve found the smell changes after a few months since first opening the container, even if the container is always re-sealed. For this reason I keep the main bag in the freezer and take out small amounts to feed my turtle. My musk turtle really likes this food and always eats it with gusto and great interest. This is the only turtle food I know of that contains pork and pork bones as well as chicken. Very complete nutrition.

This brand was recommended by the vet. Have used it since, all good!
Claire Sunico –
My turtle go crazy with Mazuri but beware don’t feed to turtle eveyday, my turtle had diarrhea when fed everyday. So I had to give it once or twice a week only, which was also my initial feeding schedule for this specific pellet.

My turtles love them!
Holly Martin –
My turtle was going through a brief ‘hunger strike’ so I decided to change up his diet to get him interested in food again. It worked! He loves this! I will definitely be buying it again.
