Sorry, just saw this post, wasn't ingoring you, but like Steph said 2-3 times per week is plenty often. Likely they wouldn't eat every day consistently even if you offered and you would waste a lot or they would become grossly obese if they did eat every day. Mine only eat a half a meatball per turtle at best in the middle of summer, of course I make mine about twice the size of a golfball. I usually make 2-3 batches per season depending on the weather and their appetites. I usually feed 1-2 times per week in the spring and fall and 2-3 in the summer, but if you are in the south they may eat and metabolize more.
