Turtles should be fed food three to five times a week at the rate that allows for natural feeding behavior, typically three or five feedings in 24 hours. A floating diet such as this is recommended in order to encourage natural behavior when feeding turtles.
Some frozen foods contain an enzyme known as thiaminase that degrades Vitamin B1. This can cause neurological issues in turtles. Furthermore, freezing doesn’t necessarily kill parasites (tapeworm, fluke). Kiwi flakes in this diet contain Vitamin C and other important nutrients which help boost immune systems; additionally these flakes provide calcium and phosphorus as sources.
