my question of course is: how much should i feed my 2-inch female red eared slider?
right now her diet consists of three turtle sticks PLUS three dried shrimp a day. i know shrimp are only supposed to be used as a treat, but that and the turtle sticks are all i have.

can someone please tell me how much she should be eating per day and how many times per day do i have to feed her? thank you =]

You can probably skip the shrimp and slightly increase the sticks. How long is she?

This is a general view on pellets: http://redearslider.com/pellets.html

When unsure, feed a little less.
