Rep-CalSrp00809 Aquatic Turtle Food, 7.5-Ounce

I collect all types of turtles. Since I began using this food, my losses have diminished notably. Most turtles eat it readily and it doesn't leave a mess afterwards if some is left over. Makes it easy to remove. I've raised quite a few turtles from hatchlings to adult size using it with no obvious signs of nutritional deficiency. I do supplement with organic protein though as well ( What else are goldfish good for? )

I have 2 RES turtles, and neither of them will touch this food. I've tried giving it to them over a dozen times and using several strategies: mixing it in with their other food, letting it sit with them for 10 minutes before giving them anything else (when they're at their hungriest), even dusting it with their favorite vitamins. They sniff it and move on, no matter how hungry they are.
