... protein, and for the vast majority of turtles available in the pet trade (and ALL the common/cheap/readily available ones) a high protein diet is not suitable.
Too much protein can cause accelerated growth which can lead to shell deformities and internal problems. I doubt there is a turtle alive that wouldn't gulp down this food with relish (so unless you knew better, you'd think it was a great food to feed), as the high protein stuff is what they will pick and choose over anything else. They are scavenging animals...morePrice Comparison for King British Turtle & Terrapin Food

King british turtle and terrapin food is a complete food for your pet turtle or terrapin, it contains all the things they would eat naturally in the wild like shrimp, krill and vegitation. This is a pellet food so it floats on the top of your water for quite a while after you puit it in allowing your turtle or terrapin to eat it off the top of the water as most turtles and terrapins prefer not to eat off the bottom of the tank. You do not have to add any calcium suppliment for your turtle or terrapin if using this food as it is already very high in calcium to help with shell growth and to keep the shell healthy. This food is available in ... Read the complete review

Since turtles are my specialist subject, when I happened up on the glowing reports of this product, I'm afraid I felt compelled to write a slightly less glowing one! In order to grow perfectly healthily (internally and externally), turtles need a highly balanced diet. this can easily be provided by the use of a good quality pelleted food. Unfortunately, King British Complete Terrapin and Turtle food DOES NOT provide this. It contains largely river shrimp and gammarus (small shrimp) as well as other fish and fish derivatives. These things are very high in protein, and for the vast majority of turtles available in the pet trade (and ALL the common/cheap/readily ... Read the complete review

I thought I would write about my sons terrapin food. It all started when he was 7 years old, he was Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles mad and being he was going into hospital for a minor operation we promised we would get him a terrapin for when he got home. We bought two to keep each other company, but they fought so we split them up! They where about the size of a 10p piece. THAT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO!! I used to feed them a different one from this one which seemed to be more powdery than this. It was quite a shock when I lifted the lid of this brand to see actual shrimps and others nasties in it. I wasn't to keen to put my fingers ... Read the complete review

When you have a pet Turtle, what exactly do you feed them? Well, there are actually only a small amount of products available on the market and I have found the best 'complete' food to be this one, King British Turtle and Terrapin Complete Food. Since buying our pet Turtle Bruce in 2006 we have tried a number of foods for him including Bloodworm (good for a treat, but not really a staple food), Freeze Dried Daphnia (again, more of a suppliment) and Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food, which just contains pellets of food. However when we came across this King British product in our local Seapets store, we bought a tub to try. The packaging of the food ... Read the complete review
