Tropical Biorept Supreme Young Turtle Food 100ml/36g

Tropical Biorept Supreme Young 100ml/36g is a probiotic-enriched food developed specifically for young and growing aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles. Formulated for hatchlings and juveniles with a minimum carapace length of 4 cm, it covers species including Trachemys, Mauremys, Ocadia, Malaclemys, Clemmys, Kinosternon, Sternotherus, Claudius, Apalone, Pelodiscus, Chelydra, and Macrochelys. If you are raising young turtles and want a diet that actively supports shell development, gut health, and natural colouration, this is a serious option.

Ingredients That Do the Work

• Krill (10%) and shrimp (10%) deliver high palatability and natural protein from crustacean sources
• Squid (6%) adds further aromatic appeal alongside additional protein from molluscs
• Hermetia illucens (black soldier fly) larvae provide essential amino acids plus calcium and phosphorus in a naturally balanced ratio that is difficult to replicate with other insect ingredients
• Astaxanthin included to support and enhance natural colouration
• Calcium to phosphorus ratio held at 2:1 — a key figure for healthy shell and skeletal development in growing turtles

Probiotic Support

Each batch contains Bacillus subtilis, a probiotic strain that stabilises intestinal microflora, improves nutrient utilisation, and actively reduces unpleasant faecal odour. For keepers maintaining indoor aquatic setups, the added benefit of reduced water pollution is a meaningful practical gain — not just a marketing claim.

Texture and Palatability

The food is produced with a soft texture that closely mimics the natural prey items young aquatic turtles would encounter in the wild. Combined with the strong aromatic profile from fish, krill, shrimp, and squid, acceptance rates are consistently high even with juveniles that can be more selective feeders.

Versatility

While designed around the nutritional requirements of young turtles, Tropical Biorept Supreme Young 100ml/36g can also serve as a high-protein supplementary food for large predatory fish in the same or separate setups.

Raising aquatic turtles through their early growth phase is one of the most demanding aspects of turtle keeping — shell formation, gut stability, and correct protein and mineral balance all matter. This formula addresses each of those factors directly in a single food.
