I know that many people say it's a good rule-of-thumb to feed your tort as much as they will eat in 20 minutes.
Well Nelson is a really slow eater! In 20 minutes he will eat one small leaf of spring mix Obviously I don't think that's enough food for him!
It can take him up to an hour to eat what I consider a small portion of food (a few small pieces of spring mix, etc.) Maybe this is partly because I don't cut up his food?
It's just difficult for me to know how much I should be feeding him as I don't want to overfeed...nor do I want to underfeed
