Dry food for aquatic turtles
We recommend not using any dry industrial food for aquatic turtles as the main food, but only as addition to natural feed (fish, insects, snails, worms). Although some feeds are positioned as complete feeds by manufacturers, not every feed can boast of a balanced composition, where there is everything necessary for turtles (animals, plant components, vitamins and calcium in the right quantities). Some types of food (food based on dry fish, shrimp, insects, gammarus) can only be given as a treat to adult turtles no more than once a week.
What to look for when buying food for young people aquatic turtles: there should be no or very little gammarus in its composition (turtles do not absorb it well) and there should be more of an animal component (fish, mussels, mollusks) than a vegetable one. Gammarus in young turtles leads to tympania.
There are a lot of dry foods produced, and each company constantly has some new products, so the most popular foods from various manufacturers will be considered here.
