Are there any commercial foods that don't float besides Ecototherm Turtle Yummies? Although I have been making Ichigo her turtle gelatin mixture, I wanted to get a back up for when I am short on time. She just refuses to eat anything that floats.

Yeah, I mean pellets or anything that has the nutritional equivalent to pellets.

Well, These are for my moms very large goldfish, but they are somewhat similar in nutrition it seems. The link has nutritional rundown and everything.
If you do get them though, I would say to probably get the medium since they are pretty small, but the large is pretty big. There's a big jump in pellet size.

There's a gelatin-like food for turtles, I think its called Nature Zone Turtle Bites, that sinks. You have a bottomfeeder?

Yeah, Ichigo wont eat anything floating. It has to sink.
I saw those Nature Zone bites but read the ingredients and it had sugar in it so I figured I'd pass on them.
Ectotherm Turtle Yummies came in the mail yesterday though and she is fine eating those. I am going to also try getting a veggie clip to see if she would eat lettuce if it's not floating on top. She didn't like the anacharis I tried to give her though so I don't know if it will work.

I feed Toby the Nature Zone Aquatic Turtle Bites as a treat... I bought them when I first got him and didn't know the proper food to get. He LOVES them, but as you said they don't have the best ingredients.
