I am getting an adult pair of three-toeds from a friend who can no longer care for them. I saw your post about the hog slop and decided to try the same thing. Since I will only have two box turtles, I figured I wouldn't need as much so I cut the recipe in half and added mashed-up lobster roaches. I ended up making a total of 20 "meatballs". How long does your batch last you, since I see 24 meatballs in your picture, and I figure you have a good bit more box turtles than I do. If I feed one meatball per turtle per day, the batch would only last me 10 days. Did I make the meatballs too big or something (they are about 1.5-2 inches in diameter)? How often do you feed this stuff? Like, is this a staple diet or do you feed it in addition to other things?

Thanks,
Bryan
