I love to see him self sufficient and he really does thrive being outside 24/7 from May to September. However, during this time he has access to green, succulent leaves all the time. This simply wouldn't happen in the wild....and Jerry definitely does not regulate his feeding!!
Not sure what to do yet, or how this can be achieved. I guess some sort of barrier/fence. Suggestions are welcome.

If you leave him to it, you will find he will naturally eat less on cooler days, just like they do in the wild. Don't forget our summer is more like their spring, and like the wild in the spring ( when food is lush) there will be cool days when they don't eat all the lovely food that's available. So he will naturally regulate his food intake, and as Sandy has said, don't supplement his weed patch with extra food , from time to time.
