FAQs - Zoo Med Turtlematic Automatic Daily Turtle Feeder

What is Zoo Med Turtlematic Automatic Reptile Feeder used for?

The Zoo Med Turtlematic Automatic Reptile Feeder is designed to feed aquatic turtles automatically on a daily schedule. It ensures turtles get consistent nutrition, especially useful if you're away or prefer routine feedings. It also keeps food fresh with an air pump attachment option, ideal for extended freshness and humidity control.

Can the Zoo Med Turtlematic feeder be used for different types of food?

While it’s optimized for Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Food bottles, you can use it with other pellet-based turtle foods. However, these need to be manually filled into the chamber, as they won't screw directly onto the feeder.

How does the 12-hour sleep function work on the Turtlematic feeder?

The 12-hour sleep function pauses feeding during nighttime hours to prevent waste and save battery life. This feature is automatic, letting you rest assured that no feed is wasted when your turtles are less active.

Can I set multiple feedings per day with this automatic feeder?

The Zoo Med Turtlematic is primarily designed for a single daily feeding routine. If your turtle requires multiple feedings, manual intervention or alternative settings may be necessary, as the feeder lacks a multi-feeding function.

How long do the batteries last in the Zoo Med Turtlematic feeder?

Battery life varies based on usage, but with the 12-hour sleep function active, it generally lasts for several months. Fresh batteries are recommended for uninterrupted service, especially if you’re planning on being away.

Does the Zoo Med Turtlematic feeder come with a timer feature?

The Turtlematic does not have a manual timer setting, as it’s pre-programmed for consistent daily feedings. Its simplified design suits users seeking a straightforward, maintenance-free solution for turtle feeding.

Can the Turtlematic feeder be used in humid or wet tank environments?

Yes, it’s designed for aquatic environments. The feeder’s optional air pump attachment reduces humidity in the feeding chamber, preserving food quality and preventing moisture-related clumping.

How do you clean the Turtlematic Automatic Reptile Feeder?

Cleaning is straightforward. Remove any leftover food and wipe the feeder chamber with a damp cloth. If the device is near water, ensure it's fully dry before refilling. Regular cleaning ensures food doesn’t stick or spoil.

Does the Turtlematic feeder work for other reptile species?

The feeder is specifically tailored for aquatic turtles and may not suit other reptile species due to unique feeding habits. Non-aquatic turtles or reptiles with different dietary needs may not benefit fully from this design.

How is the Turtlematic feeder mounted on the tank?

Mounting is hassle-free due to the compact, battery-operated design. It attaches securely on most standard aquatic tanks, and there’s no need for an electrical outlet, making it convenient for varied tank setups.
