Any suggestions for Calcium rich pellets?

I'm not looking for Calcium Powder for pellets.

I'm looking for pellets that are already rich in Calcium.

Thank you :)

JurassiDiet, Mazuri are pretty good. They all don't list their contents so it can be hard to compare. Also, the one with the most calcium doesn't necessarily mean it's better than others.

I've fed Spencer many different types of pellets and I've personally just preferred one's without any food coloring added, just cause they tend to gunk up the color of the water. They all have to much filler material added to them, so really the best way to get calcium rich would be the Calcium Powder, but I wouldn't think you would need to apply that to the pellets. Personally, I would just dust it on any veggies that you give to your turtle.

Dusting them is optional, using a good pellet and use veggies with calcium should be enough :)
