Product Overview

Ultra Fresh Juvenile Turtle Deodorizing Nutri Stick is designed specifically for the nutritional needs of growing aquatic turtles.

The formula uses up to 30% wild sword prawns, Jingou shrimp and Acetes, together with vegetables including cabbage, carrot, pumpkin and mulberry leaves.

It provides calcium along with vitamins including A and D3, with a manufacturer-stated calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 3:1.

Ultra Fresh also incorporates its UF Deodorizing Probiotics, designed to support digestion and nutrient utilisation while helping reduce waste-related odour and water cloudiness.

The food floats at the water surface and uses a 3 × 5 mm stick size, making it suited to juvenile aquatic turtles in the manufacturer's recommended 6–12 cm carapace-size range.

Who Is This For?

Best suited for:

• Juvenile aquatic turtles

• Aquatic turtles with approximately 6–12 cm carapace length

• Red-eared sliders

• Diamondback terrapins

• Razorback turtles

• Turtle keepers looking for a floating staple food

• Growing aquatic turtles requiring a juvenile-sized food

Choose the Juvenile formula when:

Your turtle has progressed beyond very small baby-turtle food but is not yet ready for the larger adult formula.

The manufacturer specifically recommends the Juvenile formula for aquatic turtles measuring approximately 6–12 cm in carapace length.

Additional Product Notes

Wild Prawn + Vegetable Formula

The Juvenile formula combines up to 30% wild sword prawns, Jingou shrimp and Acetes with vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, pumpkin and mulberry leaves.

Ultra Fresh states that the protein in this formula comes from real meat, vegetables and algae.

3:1 Calcium-to-Phosphorus Ratio

The formula has a manufacturer-stated 3:1 calcium-to-phosphorus ratio and contains vitamins A and D3 as part of its nutritional formulation for growing aquatic turtles.

UF Deodorizing Probiotics

Ultra Fresh adds its turtle-focused UF Deodorizing Probiotics to support the gut microbiome and nutrient utilisation.

The manufacturer states that this formulation can help reduce waste-related odour and water turbidity by up to 80% under its testing/usage conditions. Individual results will depend on factors such as feeding amount, turtle size, filtration and aquarium maintenance.

Floating Formula

The 3 × 5 mm sticks float, allowing aquatic turtles to locate and consume the food readily at the water surface.

How To Use

Manufacturer Feeding Guidance

Feed 1–2 times per day.

At each feeding, provide only as much food as your turtle can completely consume within approximately 3 minutes.

Recommended Feeding Method

1. Place a small amount of the floating sticks on the water surface.

2. Allow your turtle to feed normally.

3. Observe how much it consumes.

4. Stop adding food once an appropriate portion has been offered.

5. Avoid leaving excessive uneaten food in the enclosure.

6. Adjust the quantity according to the turtle's size, appetite and individual condition.

Always follow the directions on the current manufacturer's packaging if they differ from retailer guidance.

Good To Know Before Buying

This is food — not medication

AZOO Ultra Fresh Juvenile Turtle Stick is a nutritional staple food for aquatic turtles.

It is not a medication and should not be described as a treatment for fish or turtle diseases.

Juvenile and Baby formulas are different

Ultra Fresh manufactures separate Baby Turtle and Juvenile Turtle formulas.

The Juvenile formula is specifically recommended for turtles measuring approximately 6–12 cm in carapace length and uses larger 3 × 5 mm sticks.

The Baby Turtle formula uses smaller 1.5 × 3 mm sticks.

Juvenile and Adult formulas are also different

Do not choose solely by container size.

Juvenile:
3 × 5 mm sticks
6:4 meat-to-vegetable ratio
Recommended for approximately 6–12 cm turtles

Adult:
4 × 10 mm sticks
4:6 meat-to-vegetable ratio
Designed for larger aquatic turtles

So Juvenile 330 ml and Adult 330 ml are not the same food in different packaging.

The sticks float

This product is specifically a floating turtle food, not a sinking pellet.

“Deodorizing” does not mean the tank requires no cleaning

The added probiotics are designed to help reduce waste-related odour and turbidity, but normal enclosure hygiene, filtration and water maintenance are still important.

Do not overfeed

The manufacturer's recommendation is 1–2 feedings per day, with only as much food as the turtle can consume within approximately 3 minutes.

Check your turtle's size before selecting the variant

For this Juvenile formula, use the manufacturer's approximately 6–12 cm carapace length recommendation as the main selection guide rather than relying only on labels such as “baby” or “young turtle.”
