my turtle is not growing, what do i do?

There can be multiple reasons. 1st, does your turtle have a heating light for basking as well as a rock/floater to dry up in? If it stays wet all day its shell wont shed and thus wont grow. 2nd, its probably still hibernating for winter. Mine is sleeping in his cave and doesn't eat much, it's normal. 3rd, you can cut these pellets in half it ur turtle is small and give it guppy fish in the tank to stimulate natural hunting instincts and help it grow. Try it ; )

Can this be fed to baby (about 1-2 inches) res? the baby food doesn't list ingredients online so i was wondering if this was the same thing?

Hello again eag_99,The ingredients are different, protein and fat percentages are lower. You definitely should go with the ReptoMin Pro Baby. No, this is not the same thing.

how long would this last?

I have one turtle that is about 12 in and two turtles that are about 6in. This container last me 2 years.

I have a 2” and 3” turtles. How many pallets should I be feeding them?

These pellets may be too large for turtles that size. I have 3 turtles that are 8" to 10". I would start out with 3 or 4 pellets per turtle. If they eat them within 30 minutes, you can give them a couple more. You'll see soon enough how much they will eat.

Fantastic value. Saves money in the long run. My two red eared sliders, eat it with no problem. One container lasts us about a year. And they are happy and healthy. It does have a strong odor but as long as you don’t keep it stored open, it doesn’t continue.

Our pond minnows and turtles love these food sticks. The large tub makes them a good value in bulk.
