Fluker’s Buffet Blend
Fluker’s Box Turtle Food features freeze-dried river shrimps and mealworms as part of its high protein formula, to provide your reptile with essential proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals – while making its taste more appealing for their enjoyment!
These pellets are packed with calcium to support proper shell development in your turtle. Furthermore, they also include an added source of iodine to support healthy kidneys and immune systems. You can use this product either as part of their regular diet or as an alternative food option.
These frozen meals require less preparation time compared to fresh foods because no chopping or refrigeration are necessary for their preparation, eliminating fruit flies and water contamination issues. Frozen meals should only be fed to hatchlings, juveniles and middle-aged turtles due to too much protein being provided by these meals; excessive protein can lead to obesity and health problems in mature turtles.
