Musk turtle are getting more and more popular due to their small size. However, compared to sliders and most other popular species they show a different feeding behavior and have different nutritional needs. Mud turtles, the group to which also the popular musk turtles belong, generally prefer a carnivore diet and usually seek their food at the ground but also on the water surface.

With Turtle Mix ODO a special food for musk and all other mud turtles is available. It has a high carnivorous content and in addition to pellets, it also includes dried earthworms (Turtle Mix ODO Adult) or dried bloodworms (Turtle Mix ODO Baby) to correspond to the hunting behavior of the turtles. Of course the pellet size is matched to meet the requirements of either young or adult animals.

We recommend feeding Turtle Mix ODO Baby up to an age of 12 months. Thereafter the animals can be converted to Turtle Mix ODO Adult. Mud and musk turtles should have a varied diet. Supplementary feeding with products from the Lucky Reptile Herp Diner canned food range is recommended to meet the preferences and requirements of the animals.
