I am wondering how often to feed my adult RT's. I have been feeding them twice a day while they are inside and I may be making them fat ;). Should I cut it back to once a day?
Any thoughts from you all would be appreciated.

It's not how many times a day you feed, but rather how much you feed total in any given day. Some feed all at one time and others like to make smaller meals and feed twice a day.

Have you tried doing a weight check on him/her? Or why are you thinking the tort is getting fat?

The vet said Oliver is fat. But I thought Isabelle was the fat one because she has the biggest "new growth" ring on her shell. The others are getting it to but not as bad. Isabelle just looks fatter than the others too.
