Yippeeee! Now I don't have to worry that I'm not doing them right by feeding them crickets and brine shrimp. They were not cooperating for the longest time by not eating the Reptomin.

Anyway, so I have three RES that are about 1 1/2"...how many sticks per turtle per day? Today they seemed hungry, so I gave them two each. Should I only do one each?

Thanks!

I'm not sure, I'm only going based on what I've read since I don't follow any rule of thumb, but I think you can give them pellets that equal the size of their head or as many as they can eat in 5 minutes. I also think I read that they should be fed roughly the same time each day; twice a day if babies.
