Without a picture, we can only give you the best answer we can. I think you've been given a few good answers. Basically, you need to use your judgment, we can't make decisions for your turtle. Worst case scenario, feed a little less than you think.

I think one more big pellet would be ok. But two baby pellets are close to one big pellet, so its not like they will starve or anything. :)
I have two female red ear sliders.
Chimpy - 5.5 inches
Chompy- 6.0 inches
Both were born about 7/2007
Got them -- 9/2007
