I bought a reptile mag from petco today when I was picking up cuttlebone and read a aquatic turtle food ad about this product ----> http://www.monsterdiets.com/aquatic_turtle.htm
Stating that it gave necessary nutrition for aquatic turtles, including
calcium. Has anyone tried this? Would this be a better staple than other pellets? Thanks For all your input!

It doesn't provide information about Calcium and Phosphorous content. They look OK but nothing really stands out except for some fancy packaging and marketing.

This is the product that Petsmart is selling in place of Mazuri. It's been a while since I've looked at a container and I don't remember the nutritional value (haven't looked at the link you gave), but my impression was that it approximated Mazuri.

I saw it at Petsmart yesterday, didn't look too close as I wasn't in the market for pellets...although I did come home with some HBH Pellets the fruity ones that Zeke goes nuts for.....he hasn't been eating pellets recently. These ones are tiny bites the other ones were much larger. We started off with a smaller container.
