NorthFin Turtle Sticks – Floating Daily Diet for Turtles & Fish

A daily diet that keeps your turtle active and thriving.

Aquatic turtles are notoriously hard to feed well — the wrong diet leads to shell problems, cloudy water, and a sluggish pet.

NorthFin Turtle Sticks are a floating daily diet developed for aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles (and happily eaten by fish too), with quality proteins and no artificial dyes or fillers. Floating sticks make it easy to see how much your turtle is eating.

NorthFin was founded by Darius Chodocinskas, an aquatic specialist with over 30 years' experience who grew frustrated with the fillers, hormones, and artificial pigments packed into ordinary fish and turtle foods. Turtle Sticks reflect that whole-ingredient philosophy: built on whole Antarctic krill, herring, and sardine meal plus whole organic kelp, steam-extruded and made in Canada to lock in nutrients. The result is an easily digestible stick with low waste that keeps your turtle's water cleaner — with no fillers, no hormones, and no artificial pigments or dyes.

1. Feed once a day, as much as your turtle finishes in a few minutes.
2. Remove leftovers promptly to protect water quality.
3. Pair with a varied routine for best results.

• Natural color and vitality — krill and spirulina supply natural carotenoids and astaxanthin, so your turtle stays vibrant without any artificial dyes.
• Cleaner water, low waste — steam-extruded and highly digestible, the floating sticks are eaten efficiently and produce less waste to cloud the water.
• No fillers, hormones, or pigments — made in Canada to a whole-ingredient recipe with nothing added to bulk it out.
