I've just been reading one of the care sheets on feeding, and it states there that you should feed your turtles twicw a day when they're young, then reduce it to once a day when they're older....Exactly how olod would you recommend reducing their food? Mine are all between 3 an six months old, if that helps at all.
Many thanks.

Thanks Dixieee, I reduced their food to once a day anyway, but Billy and Bob are still growing really quickly. Babs - who was once the biggest - is now the smallest. And all three are professional beggars! LOL! Do you think I'm still over feeding them?
