Feeding and Nutrition :: Lettuce Question

[the_orphaned]

There are tons of lettuce available in the market, and romaine seems to be seasonal in our area. Can turtles eat all variety of lettuce?

[flutterby]

I know you should avoid spinach, iceburg lettuce and I believe chard. There are other seasonal leafy veggies that you can feed them. I believe turnip greens, radicchio are good choices.

i thnk just romaine and red-leaf.

You can feed romaine, red leaf, mustard greens, the leaves from radishes and dandelions. These give them vitamin A, I think.

I would suggest romaine lettuce, mustard greens, kale, and collard greens.

Avoid or severly limit mustard greens and kale. Romaine is good, but Dandelion leaves, Green Leaf lettuce and Red Leaf lettuce is better.
