Well if you have time in the morning it's better if you feed them in the morning.

You could still feed him veggies everyday, but the pellets you should feed him every other day.

thats what i do

one of my turtles is 3 inches and the other 2 in a half. I feed them dandelion leaves everyday but the small turtle hardly eats some of it while the bigger turtle munches most of it down ha well at least their eating some greens.

My turtle is 3 inches and I feed him pellets once, maybe twice a week, but he gets veggies every second day.

Exactly. That's what I feed my Sheba too (her shell is 9" long, BTW, so she is definitely an adult turtle).
