Babies feeding question~

Hello everyone~

I got a question about feeding the eastern box babies.
They looks like this and are about 5 CM or alittle over:

How often do you guys feed your babies? and what is a average amount of food they would consume each time?

The reason that I ask those question is that after my babies grow to a certain point, they would show less interest to food, and after that they would eat like pigs again. It apear to be a growing cycle kind of thing.

I feed my babies every day with a mixture of ReptoMin and Nutrafin turtle feed and finely cut vegetables. (about 3~4 pellets of amount of food for each of them every day)

Do you guys observe the same thing as I do? or Am I overfeeding my babaies so that they are showing less interest to food from time to time.

Thanks!
