General Care Discussion :: Turtle addicted to lettuce??

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Sat Dec 05, 2015 11:19 pm   Turtle addicted to lettuce??

My turtle is properly fed. He/ she will take your typical pellets, fish, treats, meats, etc.
When it comes to eating veggies its ADDICTED to romaine! Ive tried everything! Kale, carrots, you name it he wont want it!
Is it just being stubborn? I found out like a month ago it would actually take romaine lettuce, cause when i first got it, it would turn away from its veggies.
Is only romaine an okay diet for its veggies? He eats the algae growing off of his dock also, and occasionally ill pop a hikari algae wafer in there and it will gobble it down whole.
If romaine lettuce and algae is not enough, how do i entice it to come after its other veggies? It does eat fruits pretty well, but those are only once a month.

Should be fine as long as you're still including the other stuff. Not sure what's so great about romaine though, I think red leaf has a better taste and isn't as hard.

George will refuse her lettuce, because she's spoiled on shrimp and salmon!
