How often do most of you feed your russian? I am new to this and was told to let him eat for 20 minutes a day and then remove the food. I do that and my russian tries to lick the bowl clean like he is starving. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

have you ever had a problem with them getting "fat"? my biggest female bulges at the front of her shell by her front legs. she also has a lot of space between scutes where her new groth is. last summer she grew so fast that there was actually a small amount of blood where that new growth was. that's why i started doing the every other day thing. i'll take a pic of my biggest female and post it here to show you.
