Our take

Aquatic turtles are messy omnivores, and a floating stick like ReptoMin is the convenient base of their diet: fortified with the calcium and vitamins a growing turtle needs for a strong shell. It has been the turtle-keeper's default for decades. It is a base, not the whole story, though: turtles also want leafy greens and the odd protein treat, and, crucially, a big filtered tank with UVB light and a basking spot. The food is the easy part of turtle-keeping; the setup is where people go wrong.
