I have my 2 larger turtles at my parents and I gave strict instruction to feed about 10 pellets every other day or 2 because they are outside with lots of insects and plants. I went round yesterday and found that my dad had been giving them a large handfull of fish pellets everyday Surprised thats a weeks worth of food each day! Surprised I was wondering why none of the water plants had dissappeared.

I've told him to cut down and hopefully he'll listen this time but would the overfeeding have done any harm?
