We have had our baby RES for nearly a week. I am unsure as how much to feed it. I have ZooMed Natural Aquatic Turtle Food Hachling Formula. On the package it says to put food in the tank and let the turtles feed for an hour, any left over food to scoop out. If they eat all the food in a short amount of time, provide more. So what does this mean? Currently I am feeding 4-6 pellets twice a day and she just starting gobbling them up quickly (before they sat in there for a while) I think she is eating better now that she is getting use to her new home. Should I be feeding 10 pellets? more? less? I don't want to over feed her, yet don't want to underfeed her either......I am very confused.
