I am just wondering if I should give my boxes as much as they want to eat.
I would say that you should give as much as they can consume within a 1/2 an hour, every other day.
This will probably amount to approximately 1-2 tablespoons of food per turtle, per session, but offer a little more because they're messy.
Its a good idea to remove food after about a half an hour to discourage ants, odors, flies, rotting, etc.
