Dymax Turtle Formula, Floating Stick Food, 350g

Large-Supply Floating Stick Food for Turtles and Terrapins

The Dymax Turtle Formula (350g) is the large-supply size of the same calcium-rich floating stick formula available in the 110g, suited for households with more than one turtle, retail pet stores, or reptile rescue operations where the 110g would be depleted too quickly. The formula is unchanged: a complete nutritional diet for all aquatic turtles and terrapins, with calcium at a minimum of 1.8% and L-lysine at a minimum of 1.8% both appearing explicitly in the nutritional panel. Calcium supports shell development and bone density throughout a turtle's life, and the L-lysine designation underscores the formula's commitment to complete amino acid coverage for healthy muscle function.

At 350g, the per-gram cost drops significantly compared to the 110g, making it the practical purchase for keepers with two or more turtles feeding daily. The floating stick format remains the same: sticks stay at the surface where turtles naturally feed, the formula will not cloud the water during feeding, and the complete vitamin and mineral stack covers the full spectrum of nutritional requirements without supplementation under normal conditions. Krill paste and krill meal together deliver a palatability-forward protein base that most turtle species accept readily.

Key Features:

• Floating stick format for natural surface-feeding behavior in all turtle and terrapin species
• Minimum 1.8% calcium specifically for shell development and bone density in chelonians
• Minimum 1.8% L-lysine for muscle development, called out separately in the nutritional panel
• 36% protein from fish meal, krill meal, and krill paste for complete animal protein coverage
• Chlorella algae included alongside spirulina and algae for plant-based nutritional balance
• Garlic for palatability and feeding stimulation across species
• Will not cloud aquarium water during feeding
• Complete vitamin and mineral profile covering the full B-complex, fat-soluble vitamins, and trace minerals
• 350g / 12.4oz large-supply container for multi-turtle households and retail display
• Lower per-gram cost than the 110g for consistent daily feeding

Ideal For:

• Households keeping two or more turtles or terrapins where the 110g depletes too quickly for practical daily feeding management
• Reptile rescue organizations and public aquarium facilities maintaining turtle collections that require a reliable, larger supply of complete turtle nutrition
• Pet stores and aquatic retailers stocking the 350g as the primary display unit in their turtle and terrapin food section

Pro Tips:

• Decant a two- to three-week supply into a smaller sealed container for daily access. Opening the 350g container repeatedly for each daily feeding introduces humidity each time, which can affect stick texture and palatability over the life of the container. A smaller secondary container for daily use, refilled from the main 350g every week or two, keeps both portions in better condition.
• Scale feeding amount to the number and size of turtles, not the container. With a larger supply on hand it can be tempting to overfeed. The correct amount is still only what turtles can consume in 15 to 20 minutes. For two medium-sized red-eared sliders, this is typically two to four sticks per feeding session, depending on stick size and turtle appetite.
• For retail display, keep the 110g in view alongside the 350g. Turtle keepers who are new to the Turtle Formula will typically reach for the 110g first. Having both sizes on display together gives new buyers a trial option and returning buyers the value-size option without requiring them to ask. The two-size display also signals product depth and confidence in the formula.
