Feeding and Nutrition :: Start pyramiding

Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

I have 2 yellow belied sliders: 3'' and 3.5''

I think for a period of time I was overfeeding them - 7 pellets or more for each turtle, I wasn't even couting, just using the 15 min rule - after I removed the remaining pellets. (reason: lack of information about it- followed the information in the pellets box (2- times per day))

I have everything necessary in their tank:
Basking area: UVB 5.0 + 60 W heat
Water heater: 23 Celsius

What type of diet should I follow now? Should I feed them 3-4 pellets every other day and veggies every day? This kind of diet is the best for their size and to not increase this problem?

Look at the list for what's good to feed. For pellets, I would use the head-size amount guide. Keep the diet balanced and varied.
