For an adult RES, for each meal, how many worms should i give? And how many dandelion stalks constitute a meal?

Thanks in advance.

Don't give worms on a regular basis. Veggies should be a large portion of an adult turtle's diet, but food pellets should still be the "staple" item. http://www.redearslider.com/index_nutrition.html will have further info if you're curious.

It would depend on the size of the worms and dandelion leaves.
