Why insects? Insects have long been prey in the wild as they provide turtles with nutritious, protein-rich food that is easily accessible and digestible. The black soldier fly is particularly popular due to its savory taste and high nutritional value; therefore, we have made it the primary ingredient in all Bug Bites formulations.
The unique insect-based formulation of Nutrafin Bug Bites is a complete food for turtles. Plus, it's fortified with multiple quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals that are perfect for medium to large sized turtles.
