>>I am feeding them ReptoMin Turtle Food Sticks, that is what everyone has recommended. It does have wheat gluten in it...should I be worried?
>>

I tell ya what, I don't know if that turtle food is safe or not. I put mine away & went with Jurassi brand because it doesn't contain wheat gluten. I feed very little pellet and a lot of live food.

Now I can't find which website I read this on.. I think it was itchmo, but there's been melamine found in farm fish because of the food the fish were fed.
When I read that I thought you know, every day another dog or cat product is pulled, now a ferret food has been pulled.. that's on the AVMA website.
I am not going to take the risk. I put away every type of animal food I own that contains wheat gluten.. none of my pets are going to eat any of it, this problem needs to be resolved!
