Reptile Systems Turtle Mix 125g – Floating Complete Food for Aquatic Turtles

RS Turtle Mix is a floating, complete diet formulated for aquatic omnivorous turtles. Developed alongside professional animal nutritionists, experienced hobbyists, and breeders, it combines dried crustaceans, fish, shrimp, and fortified sticks and crisps into a single staple food that covers protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Suitable for a wide range of aquatic turtle species kept in the UK.

What's in the Mix

The blend brings together several complementary protein and nutrient sources in a single feed. Gammarus — a freshwater crustacean — supports digestion and natural colour enhancement. Whole shrimps contribute lean protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and astaxanthin, an antioxidant linked to cardiovascular and neurological health. Herring adds vitamins A, D, B12, and folate alongside minerals including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Salmon oil rounds out the fatty acid profile, providing omega-3 as an anti-inflammatory that supports circulation and oxygen delivery.

Plant-Based Ingredients

Wheat and corn provide dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Wheat germ is particularly notable — it is rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant, and is specifically beneficial for turtles struggling with retained scuta during shedding. Mycoprotein, derived from fungi, delivers all nine essential amino acids in a low-fat, cholesterol-free, high-fibre form, making it a first-class protein source comparable to meat and fish.

Vitamins, Supplements, and Detoxification

• Vitamin B complex sourced primarily from brewer's yeast, including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 — supporting digestive health and amino acid metabolism
• Multi-vitamin and mineral fortification to promote healthy growth and enhance natural colouration
• Zeolite included as a natural detoxifier — binds and eliminates toxins, acts as an antimicrobial agent, assists with ammonia removal, and helps stabilise bodily pH
• Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids present throughout the ingredient profile

Format and Feeding

RS Turtle Mix is produced as floating sticks and crisps, which makes feeding easy to monitor and reduces waste in the water. The floating format suits the natural surface-feeding behaviour of most aquatic turtle species and helps maintain water quality.

For keepers who want a single, well-researched staple food rather than assembling a diet from separate components, RS Turtle Mix covers the core nutritional bases in one product.
