Hi Max
You're quite welcome. I'm glad I could help. It's nice to see you're taking an interest in your child's turtles.
As for the begging, any turtle owner knows what that is and sometimes its darn hard to resist giving in. What sort of things are you feeding them?? Feeding outside the tank is a good idea but don't be concerned if they won't do it.
Keep us updated on how things are working. If we can help anymore, just ask
