I have started using Orejen dog or puppy food in addition to worms and fruits and veggies.
My box turtles love it. It's grain free and is non GMO.

Designed to match your puppy's natural diet, Orijen Puppy Grain-Free Dry Dog Food replicates the healthy and diverse balance of proteins like free-run chicken and turkey, whole eggs and wild-caught fish along with fruits and vegetables to perfectly support the growth of puppies and young dogs. These world-class ingredients are all sustainably farmed or fished within Canada and arrive FRESH each day, so they're preservative-free, never frozen and brimming with the proteins and fats that nourish your puppy completely. Orijen benefits puppies of every breed and size. Like people, your dog is a unique individual and his feeding requirements will vary with his breed, environment, age and activity.

I haven't been using it long enough to speak of results in my own animals, but all of Charlie's are top notch! I've started using this recently in addition and perhaps in replacement of mazuri aquatic with all ages of flavomarginata. It's a big hit with them. My only complaint is it is messier and fouls up the water quicker when served aquatically, but this isn't an issue when served terrestrially.
I haven't served it to the ornata yet. I'm curious to see if they like it as much.
