Feeding Instructions
Feeding your turtle is an integral part of their overall care. While it may be challenging, doing so correctly is vital for keeping them healthy and happy.
Juvenile turtles should be fed once daily, young adults (turtles 1-5), every other day and mature turtles (5+ years) once a week. Additionally, it is beneficial to include calcium supplements in their diet which should be added two or three times per week.
Your turtle should eat a balanced diet consisting of pellets, vegetables and protein source. The pellets (known as “staple food”) should account for around 75% of their food intake while vegetables make up 20% and protein sources make up 15%.

Aquatic turtles are omnivores and can eat both plant matter and animal protein, but their primary diet should be pellets. Fresh or dried vegetables, insects, earthworms, snails, slugs and fish should also be offered once or twice a week; feeder fish such as goldfish and guppies should not be offered frequently due to their potential spread of bacteria and parasites; they should never be fed whole since this may cause intestinal blockages in some turtles.

Directions
Fluker’s aquatic turtle food is a vitamin-enriched floating pellet diet designed specifically for freshwater turtles like red-eared sliders, map turtles, softshell turtles and musk turtles. It’s packed with proteins and nutrients for vibrant color, energetic behavior and healthy shell development – plus it contains calcium for additional shell support.
Feeding Directions: To feed juvenile or adult turtles, scatter their diet onto the water where it will float. Turtles will consume this floating food for 15 to 20 minutes before basking in the sun for another period of time before returning to their food source.
In addition to pellets, vegetables, fruits and other natural foods like earthworms, snails, frogs, grasshoppers, beetles, moths, crickets and mealworms can all be offered. Fish such as smelt, mackerel or oily fish should only be offered sparingly or not at all due to their high fat content; feeder fish are also not recommended due to potential parasites and bacteria they may carry that could harm your turtle.
