xTri-Stage Nutrition for Aquatic Turtles
Zoo Med's Aquatic Turtle Food Growth Formula brings natural, surface-friendly nutrition to turtles at every life stage. Available in Hatchling, Growth, and Maintenance formulations, this natural-feeding option supports rapid growth in youngsters and steady development in adults. The Hatchling formula emphasizes higher protein to align with early growth patterns, while Growth and Maintenance formulas provide ongoing nourishment for growing and mature turtles. The pellets float gently at the water surface, helping turtles that prefer to snack while gliding just under the surface locate their meals with ease.

- Natural micro pellet designed for aquatic turtles, with the Hatchling variant offering 43% protein to support early growth
- Targeted formulations to meet dietary needs at each life stage, helping you tailor feeding to your turtle

Feeding guidance and practical tips
- Offer small portions that your turtle can finish within a few minutes, once or twice daily
- Monitor growth and activity, then adjust portion sizes as needed to maintain a comfortable feeding routine
- Provide a clean tank and fresh water, and observe how surface-feeding pellets interact with habitat setup
Each 54 oz container provides long-term feeding with a natural, surface-friendly format that fits typical turtle viewing and care routines. While individual results vary, many keepers notice their aquatic turtles taking to floating pellets at the water’s surface, which can simplify daily feeding while helping meet stage-specific nutritional needs.
