i have 2 RES..
Fred who is 3" and AL who is 4"

i've fed them before garden fresh lettice,tuna,carrots,strawberries,grapes.

my question is...do i need to set a set diet for them..like monday i feed them vegies. tues i feed them pellets..so on and so on..

or can i just feed them vegies (and fruit once a week) sparatically throughout the week with pellets a few days out of the week??

what do u reccomend for my RES of those sizes?

pellets should be the main diet with veggies everyday.

I feed my turtle pellets on a regular schedule and veggies/fruits based on what's for dinner or around the house. We've always got lettuce, so what varies are the other veggies/fruits.
