ZooMed ReptiSticks - Floating Aquatic Turtle Food

Zoo Med ReptiSticks is a floating staple food for aquatic turtles, made with fish meal and kale to mirror the protein and greens of a natural diet. The sticks stay at the surface where turtles feed, and the same recipe also suits newts, aquatic frogs, and freshwater crabs.

Keep mealtime interesting with a rotation. Zoo Med Gourmet ReptiSticks adds shrimp, mealworm, and cranberry mix-ins, and a few sun dried red shrimp make a great high protein topper.

Why ReptiSticks

At 35% protein with added vitamins and minerals, ReptiSticks covers everyday nutrition for sliders, painted turtles, map turtles, and other aquatic species. Kale puts plant matter in every bite, which matters more as turtles eat more greens with age. Floating sticks also keep feeding visible, so leftovers are easy to scoop out before they cloud the water.

How to Feed

• Feed once or twice daily.
• Offer a small portion and give your turtle up to 5 minutes to eat.
• Remove anything uneaten to protect water quality.
• Newts, aquatic frogs, and freshwater crabs can eat the same sticks.

FAQ

How is this different from Gourmet ReptiSticks?
Same floating stick concept. This jar is the everyday staple, while the Gourmet version mixes in whole shrimp, mealworms, and cranberries for variety.

Do the sticks sink?
No, they float. Aquatic turtles feed at the surface, and floating food keeps leftovers easy to remove.

Can my newt or aquatic frog eat this?
Yes. The formula is made for aquatic turtles, newts, frogs, and crabs alike.

Which jar should I get?
The 1.0 oz jar is a good trial size or single small animal supply. The 4.85 oz jar is the better value for everyday feeding.
