i bought a bag of this stuff hikari cichlid at my local pet store in the fish section because my turtle isnt shedding and i read that vitamin E is supposed to help and these pellets contain a good source of it.. if its not bad for them how often can i feed them to my turtle with out over supplementing.. and if he ever sheds should i stop?
the pellets contain vitamins A,C,D3,E and 48 percent crude protein... isnt D3 supposed to also help them shed? if so i have the repti cal calcium with D3 powder...how often should u use it for a turtle that needs help shedding?
any suggestions would be sooooooo appreciated.. :D

It might not be bad for your turtle, but it probably won't help shedding either. I'd concentrate on good basking conditions instead.
