Are these treats really wax coated toenailes

No exact proof since only reviews refer to nails and never provides clarity on coated bitterness.

Highlighted Reviews

β€” Story

"My turtle loves when I give her these turtle chasers! She gets super excited, and swims with it in her mouth until she demolishes it."

β€” Alana

"These are supposed to float so your turtle can eat and play. First one I dropped in the tank sunk so I pulled it out and tried again, nope right to the bottom."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a treat that your turtle will definitely love, but also make sure you are willing to spend at least as much time cleaning the tank as your turtle does eating the treats, go for it.
