Yeah I agree. Turtles shouldn't be fed every day, especially if they are of a decent age. I would feed the pellets once a day or every other day, on the days you are there. Then, just throw in some fish on the days you arn't. RES also eat a lot of plant matter so you can throw in some aquatic plants like Anacharis for it to eat. Or, even a leaf of Romaine Lettuce would work.

I am currently in the US Navy, so unfortunetly I have sold off my collection of herps. But over the years have kept many different species of turtles, geckos, lizards, amphibs, and even fish. Looking forward to getting back in the hobby once im out though!
