Will it work also for adult turtle? (Bigger amount of daily pellets) and for how many days?

Yes. You can set it to feed your turtle a few times a day. I use the large turtle sticks and they fit through the feeding hole. I have had the same batteries in it for over a year. I purchased it for when we were going on vacation and I am still using it. Just put a good set of batteries in it and set the timer to your desired intervals. Remember to check the amount of food distributed before you "set it and forget it"...put the big button and let it turn and drop the food in before you walk away. This way, you know how much your turtle will get at each feeding from the feeder. On average, my feeder, with a twice daily feed, it lasts a few weeks, sometimes a month, depending on how much food you have drop. Yes. You can set it to feed your turtle a few times a day.

i have an adult turtle that eats the pellets once a day. I filled it halfway two weeks ago and set the opening at halfway and it's still going.

Yes. It should work for your adult turtle. Mine is about 10 yrs old and it works beautifully. The canister that holds the pellets is fairly small but you should get at least 1 week of feedings without having to refill it. Example: I went on vacation and was gone 5 days. Came back home and my turtle still had plenty of pellets left to probably last another 4-5 days. And this was feeding him twice a day. I love this feeder! It runs on AA batteries and even when it gives you the "low battery" status, you still have 3 days worth of feedings before the batteries run out. Hope this helps you with your decision!

Yes, feeder hole is adjustable. I really like this product and it has been very reliable as well.

I believed it can go a good month, depending on the following: size of the pellets; the opening of the portion size. Since I don't know what type of fish food you have, you can used mine for calculation. I use mini Cichlid pellet, 3-4 slot opening position, feeding twice daily. I have five 4-5" fish & a 6-7" Red-ear slider turtle that eats a lot on a 90gal tank. I only used the feeder when I'm away more than couple of days but not when I'm at home. I break the pellets for the fish and the turtle finishes the rest. Watch out for food condensation.

It may help for young turtles but would not support the weight of most average size turtles

I use it for my aquatic turtle (red eared slider) in an FX5 canister filter as the first stage filtration. I change it approx. every 2-3 months. Keep in mind I have 4 of them in there at one time in stage 1. For fish tanks, I am not sure.

it would be ok for a couple months while its a baby... but that species will outgrow this aquarium quick. I am not as familiar with turtles but I think maybe 15 or 20 gallon that's rectangular would be a good fit for it.

I have fed my betta 1 pellet in the morning and two in the evening and she has been healthy for the last two years. 5-10 is definitely too much and will probably cloud the water if it doesn't eat them. If u do choose to go that route then I would agree with kcharn, prob a month for 10 and two months for 5. But over feeding is bad for your betta!

It might be adequate for an aquatic turtle. I have one turtle in a 35 gallon tank, but it is not filled to capacity and so the heater works just fine. I assume you don't fill the 40 gallon tank to capacity, but if you have more than 30 gallons in the tank, the heater might might not be adequate.

No because a 15 gal canister will require once a week cleaning for active turtles. I suggest a larger gal canister in order to decreases the frequency of cleaning.

This tank is not really suitable for any type of turtle. It's only 3.5 inches deep therefore holding less than 5 gallons of water. I'd recommend a good size aquarium.

There are 2 different size pellets. Go with the beta size, the same fish one is too small for betta. Most of the time the pellet floats 98% but sometimes it sinks right away.... Not often at all.

that all depends on what filter you have, for me i have a turtle and a 60gallon tank, so i use about 100grams on a fluval405 , and it lasts about two months with clear odorless water. your situation might be different , i think this should be more than enough if only for regular fish.

All depends on what you are using it for. Like Dham, I also use it for one large and dirty red eared slider and it works great . Right now he is in a 40 gallon tank w/ 30 gallons of water, I plan to move him to a 75 gallon tank with 50 gallons of water... it should still work well... but that's for a red eared slider ... just one. I'd run a 2nd one if I add another turtle. Depends on your use -- turtles are the messiest.

I use this product for my 8lb house trained rabbit. I scoop out wet and large solid pellets. I have learned that cleaning up small messes everyday, helps save on the litter!

I have this platform on our 60 gallon tank with two turtles, a little bigger than yours. The ramp goes down into the water in the center, which makes them unable to escape by going off the ramp sideways and out over the top. The top has a metal secure wire door, and even if your turtle was strong, you could zip tie or wire tie it closed, although mine have never been able to stand on hind legs to investigate this! :) I will try to post some pictures of it at different angles for you

The answer is; not optimally. The feeder works as advertised and is a great device to have for your turtle when you are on the road!! I have a similar mix to Zoo Med gourmet turtle food in my feeder and I've noticed that the delivery is inconsistent. The problem is the dried mealworms. They get stuck in all different directions and clog the feeder unless you open the little trap door wide enough. Unfortunately, this causes the dispensing of way too much food at one time in my opinion, (I only have the one turtle to feed). I think it would work really well with turtle food that is shaped in little balls or pellets. Other than that, a great little device! The answer is; not optimally.

It would depend on the size IMG_4367.pngof the pellets & how many days you would want to set it for. It would need to be small pellets & I don't know how much a hamster eats but it doesn't hold a lot of food.

I feed my fish once a day and it works great. I have an automatic feeder and the pellet size is perfect. It is especially great because it is one of the few that I found that are sinking pellets. I have overflows for my tank and floating food wouldn't work well.
