Does Mazuri turtle pellets come in different sizes? Also, when people recommend AquaMax pellets are they talking about "Trout Chow" pellets?

Aquamax trout chow comes in different sizes designated as 100 thru 600.

I think since it's called Trout Chow, it should be for trout only.

Mazuri pellets are very popular, Bulldog likes them a lot. As far as different sizes are concerned, they probably have different sizes.

Another couple of good ones to look into are Reptomin and Rep-Cal. (Rep-Cal is very rich though, so it shouldn't be given every day).
Phryne - Japanese bobtail, 11 y.o.
Hurricane - RES, approx. 19 y.o., 7.00in. long
Typhoon - RES hybrid, approx. 19 y.o., 8 in. long
Sadie - RES, approx. 30+ y.o., 11.5in. long
Sophie - Colombian red tail boa, 15 y.o., 5 ft. long

Mazuri comes in 5lb and 25lb bags.It's the best turtle food out there used by most breeders.

If you're asking about baby mazuri, I don't think they make that. Reptomin makes pellets for hatchlings though and they're a good brand. If you still want to use the mazuri and it's too big, you can always cut it up or soak it for a while (making it softer and easier to bite).
