I am not sure what the right amount would be - it just seemed that once a day would disturb them too much. Actually if it was up to me, I would check them once a week. I check my box turtles once a month, if that, and have never had a problem - I am here in California, which could be better, or worse. Better in the fact that it doesn’t get below freezing, and worse by being to warm for some of them to hibernate - they basically stop feeding - which is bad, and I have to bring the non hibernating turtles in, and replicate warmer conditions.
This is not an exact science, and what works for one person/turtle will not work for another person/turtle. You are doing the right thing by asking. Hope all of that helps.
