Is he eating mainly grass? (70 to 80%) when he is outside you cant really judge how much he is eating, but inside is a bit easier. He is very big for a 5 month old, feed him enough to cover his shell, and try and feed just grass for a while, perhaps slip in an odd dandy or flower, this should slow things down.
