Feeding and Nutrition :: Too much romaine lettuce= Diarreah??

[CV Cream]

I put lettuce in the tank for 3 days in a row, leaveing the remaining lettuce leaf in the tank overnight. The fourth day, she has diarreah.

.. ????

Why? Is it ok to give lettuce everyday? So giving the lettuce too much isnt the cause of the diahriah? Than what was? She never had this before...

[CV Cream]

The lettuce wasn't spoiled... i guess nobody knows y she got diariah... okay then..

I believe too much veggies can give turts the runs.

1. You need to be patient, we don't always sit here all the time, so you have to wait til someone comes along to answer.

2. Yes, too much veggies can give a turtle the runs, I would offer veggies every other day instead.

Yup, they will get the runs......My guys can't get enough of it, so I try to switch things daily, right now they seem fixated on green peppers. On pellet day, I cut back on all veggies (they get the veggies in the morning, pellets in the afternoon) if its pellet day. Consider yourself lucky you have a turtle that likes veggies, many keepers can't get them to eat any at all......
