I don't know why but my two RES seem to be very hungry ALL the time, i'm giving them pellets but after I put a few in the tank they keep looking at the pellet can with food so I figured they were still hungry so I gave them more and they ate them so quickly, it's like I never feed them but I do...

They probably had about 20-25 pellets each... within a time frame of 5 minutes and their still hungry... -_-

Why is this...?

only feed the as much that will fit in their head.

they probably wouldnt stop if u kept feeding them. turtles are beggers.

They are just beggers

dont give into their cute faces and excitement

and oh my god..you given them 20 pellets in 5 mins? wow

that is enough for more then 2 weeks

Turtles are gluttons and will eat and eat and eat and then puke it all back up. It's not a pretty sight. This goes for pellets, live fish, or lettuce. Just keep it in moderation and they should be fine. If you overfeed them, it will lead to irreversible pyramiding, which causes a decreased lifespan as well as other health problems.

You didn't mention the size of your turtles, but to give you an idea, when my turtle was:

1.5" - 3 Reptomin sticks daily (head-sized amount)
3.5" - 6 Reptomin sticks daily (head-sized amount)
6.5" - 8 Reptomin sticks daily (half-head-sized amount)

That's all she gets, trust me, she's alive and well and only seemingly starving!

They are opportunistic eaters, meaning, they will gorge themselves as if there will be no food for a while simply because if they were in the wild that would be a likely scenario.

Rather than increasing the pellets, try some leafy greens to give them something to munch on.
