This is what a wonderful person from the forum had written on here. This will tell you everything you need to know.

Its a fish bone. You buy them from the pet store in the bird section and take off the hard backing and put it in your turtles tank. It floats and they eat it.

Also, there is no difference

Only in price.

[Ranger The Red Ear Slider]

Yeah the ones made for the birds are much more cheaper then the ones made for the turtle.

[1tdawg]

why is that? Do the turt bones last longer???

[steve]

No, they just market it for turtle owners, thinking that we'd pay more.

Yeah there's nothing different about them at all just the box and price. Would buy them if they had no hard backing though.
