Found these cheap tortoise pellets for wholesale. I was going to get some for my torts but the ingredients question me..

#4 is fructose, but they don't offer a carbohydrate amount in the analysis, seem not so good. The not for human consumption note says "contains fish meal", yet that is NOT listed in the ingredients. There are many artificial colors.

I would NOT use it, even if given a free sample to try.

Thought so, didn’t look close enough. Thanks for confirming.

I went to their web site because I wanted to see the actual name of the product. Nowhere on the site did I see anything other than aquatics food.

Interesting,
They are selling and advertising it as tortoise food.
