Hey all,
Does anyone have the nutritional analysis of aquamax trout chow (both omnivorous and carnivorous variety if possible) and/or turtle brittle? I'm guessing the omnivorous trout chow is obviously lower in protein and fat, to what extent I don't know. I once had this info but I must have misplaced it.

Thanks a lot,

Jesse

you'll find this info on the Purina and eNasco webpages, respectively.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I checked both their pages and neither had any info. Hell, maybe its just me.. Anyone else have any info?

Thanks,
Jesse
