Most painted turtles wont stop eating if you dont stop feeding them. If youre worried that the big turtle is eating all the food, try separating the smaller turtles to feed them.

you might want to separaye them anyway as a 5 inch turtle could easily bite the head off a 1 and one half incher. It does happen.. try calcium dusted crickets and try earth worms. feed a variety of foods. The larger one might tajke some plant matter at his size.
