A Walk on the Wild Side

Zoo Med makes it their mission to provide reptiles and other exotic pets with the very best food, supplements and habitats. This company of passionate hobbyists knows that not all pets are furry with four paws and offers a true understanding of reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Whether you're new to reptile care and fishkeeping or are an experienced breeder, Zoo Med covers it all.

An Exotic Diet for an Exotic Pet

When it comes to your pet's dinner, the menu consists of worms, crickets and snails galore. Zoo Med offers a wide range of nutritious and tasty food to feed every exotic pet a special diet that's made just for them.

TURTLES AND TORTOISES: From treats to whole diets, Zoo Med provides a nutritional boost to fit any turtle or tortoise want or need.

LIZARDS: For pets like bearded dragons, there's a selection of tasty options, including cans of mealies, grasshoppers and caterpillars and complete pellet diets.

FISH: Your tropical fish enjoys a treat every now and then, and Zoo Med offers a tasty variety to choose from.

FROGS: Including high-protein, sinking pellets that mimic what frogs would eat in the wild, this frog food is just what you need to keep your amphibian jumping.

Give Him an Extra Boost

Because any pet could benefit from a little extra care, Zoo Med makes supplements that will help fortify your exotic pet's health and environment. Feeding him a supplement, in addition to his healthful meal, can be the extra step that it takes to keep your frog, lizard, turtle or fish happy and healthy.

Rest, Relax and Thrive

Every exotic pet needs a place to call their own, and Zoo Med makes it easy to keep them comfortable and thriving.

LIGHTING

Mimic the true feel of a tropical or desert climate with lighting that gives reptiles the warmth of a natural habitat. The selection includes long-lasting bulbs that require minimal maintenance and infrared lights that won't disturb sleep patterns.

BEDDING

With bedding made from renewable sources like coconut husks that allow animals to burrow and nest as they would in the wild, consider Zoo Med your source to create a home within your home.

I have a ten year old RES and this is the only turtle food he will eat. I am so glad chewy sells it because it is very hard to find in store, and Chewy beats every other price I have seen. I also like that they carry different size jars, so I can get a smaller jar if my funds are low, or the larger one when I have extra funds. I love this website.

I have two red earred sliders I have had for about 18 years....The girls were four years old when I got them. They live outside in a little pond and this is the food I have been primarily feeding them for many years. They are doing beautifully on this diet.

Turtles love it.

It floats; turtles are surface eaters, so it’s easy for them to see.

I have had my aquatic turtle for 26 years, so I have tried many kinds of turtle food. This is absolutely the best! My turtle loves it. I love that it stays together, so I can easily scoop out any leftovers. I also love that it is a complete food source, so my turtle thrives and I don't have to mess with calcium supplements or anything extra.

Balanced turtle diet

Our girl loves this. The pellets do float, though once saturated will sink. It doesn't cloud the water either. You need to read the directions on feeding, Reptiles

Our girl loves this. The pellets do float, though once saturated will sink. It doesn't cloud the water either. You need to read the directions on feeding, Reptiles are different than dogs and cats! Also, there is a growth and maintenance formula. Anyway, works great for us.

My 2 turtles love this food. It floats on top of the water so they can easily munch away. They don't like the food that sinks immediately and they have to dig between the rocks. This product is hard to find in the stores and when I do it is in a small container. This size is great. I don't have to worry about running out for some time.

My two snappers love it

I have two snapping turtles. my older one I've had for 12 years he's almost 14 and my younger one is six and I've had her most of her six years. This is what they eat. I supplement with raw shrimp in shell a few times a month and they are thriving. I wish this had a little more fish to it but it does say it's for plant eating turtles. I do supplement with other treats for them and they're doing great with this food. My turtles are pretty large so the pellet size is perfect for them. I have to be careful because if I overfeed their water does get cloudy. That being said, I know that they digest It well by the size of their poop LOL. I do recommend this for anyone with larger turtles and they have smaller pellets for smaller turtles. Just supplement with a treat till they get enough fish and they should do very well

I thought this was a great purchase! It lasts so long and is a perfect for my juvenile turtles, although I didn't like how messy it got the tank and well that's the only complaint I have. (REMINDER- this is not the only food you should feed your pet, give it a lot to choose from and have a diet for your turtle to keep it happy and healthy)
