Top 10 FAQs for Fluker’s Bag Turtle Treat – Insect Blend:
What is Fluker’s Turtle Treat – Insect Blend?
It’s a ready-to-feed mix of dried insects, including mealworms, crickets, and grasshoppers, specially crafted as a high-protein treat for aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles.
Is this a complete diet or a treat?
This is a treat, not a full diet. It’s designed to supplement your turtle’s regular food and provide enrichment through natural insect variety.
What types of turtles can eat this?
It’s great for aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles like red-eared sliders, painted turtles, and cooters that naturally eat insects and small animals in the wild.
How do I feed this to my turtle?
Sprinkle a few dried insects directly into the water or a feeding dish. Watch your turtle snap them up!
Can I feed this every day?
No—use as an occasional treat, about 2–3 times per week. Too much protein can lead to health issues if not balanced with other foods like pellets and greens.
Do I need to rehydrate the insects before feeding?
It’s not required, but you can soak them in warm water for a few minutes to soften the texture, especially for young or picky turtles.
Do I need to refrigerate the bag after opening?
Nope! Just reseal the bag tightly and store in a cool, dry place to keep the insects fresh.
What are the benefits of feeding insects to turtles?
Insects are a natural source of protein, fat, and nutrients, helping support growth, energy, and natural foraging behavior.
Can other reptiles or pets eat this blend?
Yes—lizards, amphibians, fish, and birds that enjoy insects can also benefit from this treat, but it’s formulated with turtles in mind.
My turtle didn’t eat them right away—what should I do?
That’s normal! Try offering a smaller amount, soaking the insects, or mixing them with their favorite food. It can take time for turtles to warm up to a new texture or scent.
