Fun for the turtles
Turtles can be social creatures, so finding alternative means of entertainment for them can be essential to their wellbeing and preventing boredom and stress. Enrichment toys for them such as empty shells, rubber ducks, rubber practice golf balls shooting marbles treat dispenser puzzle balls are great sources of stimulation and should also float. A tank powerhead adds movement into their environment encouraging activity.
Another way to provide turtles with entertainment is giving them toys they can chase, like dubia roaches, bloodworms and crickets in nature. Also beetle larvae, grasshoppers and caddisflies.

Easy to clean
A floating turtle feeder makes feeding time exciting for your pet while giving you the opportunity to observe his foraging habits in his natural environment. The fish-shaped feeder releases food pellets when bumped, encouraging him to use his front legs for foraging rather than simply dropping food into their tank. It provides an effective alternative to simply pouring food directly into its home environment.
An appropriate diet is key for the wellbeing of any reptile, including aquatic turtles. An optimal turtle diet should consist of protein from fish, meat or plants; in addition to being high in calcium and phosphorus levels – therefore ensure you provide your turtle with an array of foods to meet his or her nutritional requirements.
