Feeding and Nutrition :: When to feed adult RES

[turtlelover2]

hey i have always been my res everyday at night and i was wondering if thats ok or should i feed him in the morning or every other day or something else?

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

[turtlelover2]

alright sounds good but should i keep feeding him everyday?

[Tenodera]

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.

[RAN1]

how long have u had your turtle? and how big was it when u first got it?

i got my turtles this year in february and both of them were small as a quarter they've gotten bigger since then

[Tenodera]

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