Sounds good to me. Remember that the food labels tend to recommend more food than is necessary since they can sell more food that way. It's healthier for the turtle to stick to the feeding guidelines recommended in the Nutrition Guide on the main website.

It's a good sign that he's eating! After all he's been through.

4 baby sticks sounds about right. I feed my 2 1/2inche turtle 5. But I have gone to every other day now.

That is a fair ammount. I can openly say that i overfed mine when they wer young(er). for 2, 2" turtes, i gave them these little ball-like baby foods that i bought in kentucky. i wish i could find out the brand cause my fellas loved them to death. However, i fed about 12 or 15 of these milimeter-sized balls (little pigs made me feel sorry for them. But im such a sap for those turtle hatchling eyes; all big and googly HEE)

Where the balls multicolered? HBH makes a container of turtle bites that come with like red and green balls that my turtles love.
