Fluval Bug Bites Turtle Food for Small to Medium Turtles, 1.5 oz.

Fluval Bug Bites is a comprehensive turtle food formulation that features a unique insect-based composition, enriched with multiple high-quality proteins and carbohydrates, making it ideal for small to medium-sized turtles. The daily diet formula of Bug Bites is fortified with eggs, is highly digestible, and provides turtles with an excellent source of niacin, riboflavin, magnesium, and potassium for their overall health and well-being. Additionally, it includes added vitamin D3 to support a strong shell.

Insects are a natural part of the turtles' diet in the wild, as they offer a widely available food source. The instinctive feeding habit of turtles is the foundation behind Bug Bites, which are formulated with nutrient-rich insect larvae and enriched with multiple high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

Most turtles are omnivores and regularly consume insects in their natural habitat. However, not all insects are equally suitable for a turtle's diet. Bug Bites are formulated with sustainably harvested Black Soldier Fly Larvae (the #1 ingredient across all formulas), which are raised on a diet of fruits and vegetables, providing exceptional "super food" nutrition.

The unique cultivation process of Black Soldier Flies ensures that the larvae are grown under controlled conditions, promoting total sustainability and preserving natural environments. Under these controlled conditions, the Black Soldier Flies produce larvae that naturally feed on decaying organic matter. Unconsumed fruits and vegetables are used as the larvae's feed, which they then convert into protein and healthy fat. After a 2-week feeding cycle, the larvae are harvested and dried.

In addition to the nutrient-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae, Bug Bites offer other excellent protein sources, such as Herring & Shrimp Meal, which are also rich in Omega-3 for healthy skin, scales, and vibrant colors. Unlike many big-brand turtle foods, Bug Bites are always prepared in small batches to ensure superior control and quality assurance.

The proximity of the ingredients (most of which are delivered right before production) also contributes to maximum freshness, which translates into better palatability for the turtles. Fluval Bug Bites is a comprehensive turtle food that contains up to 40% of the highly nutritious Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the primary ingredient. It is fortified with essential vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, providing a balanced daily diet for turtles. The floating pellet format features a taste that turtles crave, and the food should be fed as much as a turtle can eat in two minutes, two or three times daily. Fluval Bug Bites is sustainably processed in small batches to ensure quality control and maximum freshness, making it an ideal choice for all life stages of turtles.
