Advice and care
How to choose turtle and tortoise food
Aquatic turtles and tortoises eat very differently, so choose food by species.
Aquatic turtles
Balanced sticks make the staple, Junior food suits young ones.
Tortoises
They are herbivores and need fresh greens besides their staple.
Clean water
Feed aquatic turtles in the water, only as much as they eat in a few minutes.

Does a young turtle need different food?
Yes, young aquatic turtles need more protein, which is what Junior food is for. Adults eat more plant food.
Why does a turtle need UVB light?
UVB helps make vitamin D3, without which calcium is not absorbed and the shell does not develop properly.

A turtle's diet directly affects the growth and health of its shell. Food that is too rich in protein makes the shell grow unevenly, and a lack of calcium and vitamins makes it soft. That is why a balanced prepared food designed around a turtle's needs matters as the staple diet.
The range includes food sticks for adult and young aquatic turtles, a staple food for land tortoises and treats: dried freshwater shrimp, fish and grasshoppers. Give treats a couple of times a week rather than daily so the diet stays balanced.
You can feed an aquatic turtle in a separate container so the water in its tank stays cleaner. Offer a tortoise prepared food together with fresh greens such as dandelion leaves and clover, and always keep drinking water available. Check the recommended amount on the pack and adjust it to the animal's age and activity.
