Hi all,

Can someone tell me if a baby RES can eat too much?

It's hard to tell, as they need a good amount of food (the right kind), but over-feeding can lead to deformed shells and other health problems.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though unless he's getting noticably fat. You'd be able to tell. Just make sure he has varied diet either daily or weekly (worms/fish/crickets, some veggies, some pellets).
