Feeding and Nutrition :: Ice berg lettuce

[rana]

Can I give my turtles as much ice berg lettuce as they want? I realize they get no nutrition from it but they are constant beggers, so can they eat that with no worries of to much weight gain? I am sure they will still eat the good stuff when I give it to them, If I let them they would eat 24/7.

From the "dont feed topic"

"Iceburg lettuce
Provide very little useful nutrition or fiber. They are fillers, a way to add variety but not nutrition."

No matter what is good for them or what they like, an unlimited amount is not good. Moderation and variety are keys to a good diet.
