My baby RES seems to be growing very quickly. No idea how old he is - we've only had him for about 6 weeks. He is getting 2-3 pellets, 2-3 sticks, 1-2 very small worms (earth or meal), plus a couple baby lettuce/dandelion leaves per day, 5 days per week. (he lives at my office and therefore is not fed on Saturday and Sunday.) His shell is approx. 2" long. He seems to not only be getting longer but "taller," just in the past couple weeks. Based on the above, do you think he's being overfed?

Yes! About 3 pellets total a day is all he needs! You can leave greens in there all the time, and other veggies, but he doesn't need all the other stuff. Iceberg lettuce isn't going to give it any nutrients, you need things like kale, collard greens, mustard greens, red leaf lettuce, etc.... And veggies like carrots, cucumbers (my little RESs LOVE cucumber!)

Skip the worms. Any change someone is offering him extra food? Can you post some pictures?
