Anyone here use an auto feeder to give your young turtles some food when your not around during the day, working or what not?

Just looking for suggestions on how to make my little guys happy and fed well when im not able to do it because of work usually.

I use an autofeeder when I go on vacation, but never on a daily basis. I find my feeder tends to dump a little too much food in (regardless of how I set it) so I wouldn't use it unless you absolutely had to.

You don't need to feed your turtles at the exact same time everyday, so a feeder isn't really a necessity unless you're not going to be around for a few days.

Depends on the age of the turtle, too. A two inch turtle usually gets fed every day or every other day, so, I would use an autofeeder if I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO. Otherwise, I'd explain to my parents how to feed them.

A much older turtle, like four inches plus, gets fed every other day or three times a week at the least. Unless I were going to be gone for over a few days, I wouldn't use an autofeeder.
