General Care Discussion :: At what age do you feed once every two days?

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

My turtles are pretty big ( about 5 inches)
I was wondering when do you start feeding them once every two days.
they always beg for food in the morning (making a lot of splashing sound)

Thank you!

5 inches is big enough to cut down :) Do they eat any veggies?

about 2 roman leaves a week and I also feed them dried bloodworm/small shrimps from time to time.

They can eat lots of greens. Then you don't have to worry about them being hungry when you cut the pellets. Red leaf lettuce, green leave lettuce, romain, dandelion leaves (even picked from your own yard if no pesticides were used.)

I agree (:
Because feeding everyday is too much D: as much as I love them, I'm too busy on some days..
