Highlighted Reviews
"My box turtle really enjoys it and this makes it so easy to feed. Just crack open the can and give a quarter of a can for a meal. If I had any issues with this at all it would be that it has kind of a funky odor, but my box turtle seems to enjoy funky odors anyway."
"Three phone calls to you. You shipped with Ontrac, who apparently does not have a contract to deliver where I live: order was returned to you twice. It took me contacting my Ontrac delivery person to hear Ontrac no longer delivers here. Still waiting for my order."
Bottom Line
Overall, it's a decent choice for box turtles, but be prepared for potential issues with order fulfillment and product consistency.
