Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

How many of you have fed boston lettuce to your turtles? Does anyone know if this is a good lettuce for our turtles? Its not apart of the families listed in the not recommended section on the site. I bought a head without realizing what I got, lol. Our produce section in the grocery store out here has a huge selection of greens; every type of lettuce I know of, collards, endives, dandelions, turnip greens, kale, and so on.... etc. So I was wondering if anyone knows the value of boston lettuce for our turtles? I do know it makes one awesome salad with all the other lettuces and veggies!

Seems to be ok to be used as variety. It's pretty high in most categories (good and bad ones) compared to other lettuces.
