how much food

[tortoise44]

well I have had my little baby for about two days now and he is doing great he basks on his rock walks around I take him outside for sun and he eats all kinds. hes eaten about 3-4 servings of dandelions already in his cage while he also ate weeds and grass outside I just want to know how much should I feed a baby I have read some people feed them every other day while others let babys eat as much as they want what should I do

Yeah always have food available to them, they are grazers- so they will stop when they're not hungry

Outside fee grazing is awesome and what you should encourage him to do as often as possible....if you are asking about how much to offer indoors....I would offer a pile that is equal to his entire shell---and would spray it down with water...I would offer a couple times a day for babies....
