Feeding and Nutrition :: Is it good or bad to... ( Regarding pellets )

[Sweet Lavender]

Is it good or bad to feed my turtle different brand's of pellets each day.

I have reptomin, hikari, & mazuri available for them.
Is it ok or should I stick with one brand?

Mmm, I know both reptomin & mazuri is good but what about Hikari?

I would think that feeding your turtle different kinds of pellets would be a good variety for them. Right now, I am feeding my turtles 2 varieties. So I would think it would be OK. Better get other peoples opinions on this though.

I try to vary my turtle's pellets and have the same brands you mentioned (as well as some others). I think it's good to do, because one pellet might be lacking in something another pellet has. Your turtle is less apt to become fixated on and want to eat only 1 brand of pellets if he's given a few different brands. Don't forget other foods in addition to pellets.

I've had Sheba on Reptomin for over 17 yrs already. She never liked wardley's (I tried that when I first got her) and back then, there weren't too many turtle supplies so reptomin was all I could find. She didn't seem to mind so I stuck with that brand. Recently I have been able to get ahold of some mazuri and she liked that too so now I can vary her foods.

Variety of pellets is totally fine if they will eat the different varieties.

My experience with pellets has been good. I use the Reptomin and supplement them with a frozen feeder fish once or twice a month and calcium. The pellets are a little short in the calcium. You can get the calcium blocks at your aquatic pet store.
