Arcadia EarthPro TurtleGold 300g – Natural Aquatic Turtle & Terrapin Pellets

Arcadia EarthPro TurtleGold is a natural, balanced pelleted diet for aquatic turtles, terrapins and other water-dwelling species. Made in the UK using a highly varied whole-food blend, it includes fish meal, shrimp, insects, aquatic invertebrates, plant matter, algae, snails and earthworms — providing a nutrient-rich diet close to what turtles would encounter in the wild.

The formula delivers natural sources of vitamins A, D3 and E from whole fish and algae, together with full-spectrum minerals, essential oils/fats and a probiotic to support digestion, shell development and overall vitality. The inclusion of real snails and earthworms for the first time helps create a more complete, behaviourally enriching diet for a wide range of aquatic turtles.

TurtleGold pellets are soft-sinking, allowing turtles to feed at different levels of the water column and encouraging natural foraging behaviour. Bottom-feeding species such as Musk Turtles accept them readily, and the slow breakdown rate promotes a wild-like feeding response.

Used alongside suitable plant material and occasional live foods, TurtleGold provides excellent dietary variety, strong nutrition and long-term condition for aquatic turtles.
