FEEDING DIRECTIONS

Suitable for carnivorous & omnivorous species

Baby turtles should be fed once per day. Turtles will usually start to eat their food whilst it is floating. After a short rest they will return to consume the remainder of their meal which has sunk to the bottom.

Gently place 1 cube per day into the water. Ideally the contents will be eaten within 24hrs and no excess food remains at the bottom of the tank. Remove and dispose of any uneaten food.

Once feeding is complete, replace lid on tray to avoid contamination and put the tray back into the freezer ready for the next day’s feed.

This feeding instruction is a guide only, adjust quantity depending on life stage, water temperature, body size and growth rates.

What are seasonal fruit and vegetables?

There are times during the year that certain fruit and vegetables are not available or not at their best. Vegetables that have been stored for long periods of time in cold storage, tend to lose their goodness over time, so we only include market fresh vegetables. We add seasonal fruit and vegetables during their best growing season which are chosen for their specific nutrients, vitamins and minerals, ensuring our food is always balanced and also that our recipes are cost effective and do not fluctuate in price. A few examples of seasonal fruits and vegetables are: strawberries, blueberries, bananas, broccoli, cauliflower, asian greens etc…

Caring for your turtles environment?

It is always best to speak to your local aquarium store for the best ways to keep your turtles healthy but here are a few important points:

Water temperature should be between 18-21 degrees centigrade.
The water in their tanks should be clean. Dirty water can cause a loss of appetite. Partial regular water changes are recommended. Also use a pH test kit for acidity levels.
Ensure good filtration and regularly clean the water filter.
