Feed once in the morning, the amount that would fit inside the head. If you feed in the morning, then they have all day to digest/work it off.

I feed my turts once a day, the amount that would fit in their heads. I notice they have gotten used to it so they don't beg as much for more. Otherwise I just throw some lettuce in there to keep them happy.
