right now I am feeding him pellets at aroudn noon, then random vegetables and fruits later on in the day, when I am about to eat something

should I feed him all at once or what?

Hi,
Most people do if they are using a separate feeding area (tank, dish, bowl). I feed Kokoro pellets and then toss in some veggies after she finishes up.

I would just feed your turtle once a day, max. How big is your turtle? If it's not a hatchling anymore, you should really only feed pellets every other day. So I would suggest alternating the days, one day pellets and one day veggies and (limited) fruits. And yes, I would feed it all in one sitting, at least, not later on throughout the day.

I'd offer some veggies daily, whether or not you're giving pellets.

Well I throw in some pellets and cuttlebone before work every morning. Later that day when I come home I add some lettuce to a clip.

hmm i think i should get a clip, where can I find a clip?

you can find them at the pet store. You can also easily make one out of a suction cup.. plastic cloths pin and some fishing line.
