Feeding and Nutrition :: iceberg lettuce???

[wbedoya]

Can I feed my turtle Iceberg lettuce?

[jay2487]

yes, i'm pretty sure you can feed them any kind of lettuce you find at the grocery store.

[bradmeisel]

no, do not feed them iceberg lettuce. Dandelion leaves, Green Leaf lettuce, Red Leaf lettuce, Turnip greens (leaves only) are best.

It won't cause any harm if you feed a bit, but it really has no nutritional value. It's like feeding them ice. For regular feedings, stick with the nice green veggies like Brad mentioned.

I agree with bradmeisel. I read NEVER to feed iceberg lettuce. I just stick to the green leaf lettuce - it's also cheaper

I don't feed iceburg to my turtles and I rarely eat it myself because it's really made up of mostly water. Not much nutritiion in it at all.
