Directions For Use

This food is formulated for aquatic turtles with a minimum shell length of 2 inches or larger. Open container and spoon out 1 level teaspoon of food per turtle. Let turtles feed for a minimum of 1 hour. Remove any uneaten food after 1 hour. (Note: The floating cranberries can be left in the tank as some aquatic turtles take time to develop a taste for them.) If your turtles eat all of their food in a short time, you may want to increase the food amount to 1 level tablespoon, per turtle, or more per feeding. Feed turtles every other day (four times per week). Do not overfeed your turtles.
