I think your instincts were correct. They are growing very rapidly. I would decrease feedings to every other day. Also, some cuttlebone placed in the enclosure may be a good idea. They can nibble on that as they wish.

Wood turtles don't actually shed their outermost scutes like many aquatic turtles...it is an adaptation for living partially on land. It adds to the rigidity of the shell.
