I have a dozen RES, eastern paints, western paints, yellow bellied sliders and musk turtles all in my pond. With so many, I was wondering if anyone has tried making their own pellet food? Anyone?

The closest thing would be the jell-o shot recipe. I think there was one or two topics about creating an actual pellet, though I think it was just ideas being thrown around.

I made turtle food a long time ago for a very picky RES. For as many turtles as you said you have, I'd buy a good pellet in bulk and store it carefully so it doesn't spoil. I found that relying on handmade food as a staple was time consuming and rather expensive.

Feeder stores have huge bags of turtle food try there. I've never seen large bags at petco or petsmart.
