Anyone tried it? I looked at the facts and it has a good source of Folate and Vitamin C. I didn't see it on either of the two stickies above.

I doubt a little bit would hurt. I'd be surprised if he really liked it, although he might be attracted to the red skin (I'm assuming the kind you have is red with the white inside). I wouldn't make it a regular part of his diet, though. Vit C isn't an issue, and I don't know how much folate is necessary in a healthy turtle diet.

Well, I don't know about the bulb, but the feeding lists say you should give the leaves of the radish. I would try that instead.

I'll try that next time. They did go after the red part and not so much the white.
