hey, i recently got two turtles (august 29). they live together in a tank, and when i got them they were both about 1" - 1 1/4" (guessing). when i measured them last monday, sam was 1 3/4" and ella was 1 1/4". today, sam is 2". im going to make the assumption that this is a pretty speedy growth rate (1/4" in a week).

i think that what is happening is that sam is eating all the food and ella isnt really getting much. are there any ways i can encourage sam to eat less and ella to eat more without feeding them seperately?

feeding them seperately would prob be the the best thing to do....

Agreed prince......But not only for their growth, but for their health. Overfeeding is very unhealthy.
