Other Turtle Discussion :: Research About Commercial Diets of RES Turtles

[gabeeee]

Hi Guys! Just wanted to ask if you guys can help me out with my research.
My research title is "A Comparative Study on the Effect of Different Commercial Diets On the Growth Rate of Red Eared Slider Turtles."

I will be comparing different commercial diets of RES Turtles and do you guys have any suggestion of what commercial diets I should us? I made this research because I want to be able to help Turtle owners that can unfortunately, only feed Commercial Diets. I thought about using Reptomin and Mazuri. I need at least two more to add in the comparison. Also, do you guys know any related research about my research? It would really be a great help if you guys can suggest anything.

Thanks!

Omega one dusted with calcium is what I feed. I coat them with the calcium. I agree with your choice of Reptomin just because a lot of people use it but there are many better options.

I don't know of any similar research. This is a good page to just review and get an idea of what people are using:
