Feeding and Nutrition :: lettuce varieties

[Starchick]

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether some more unusual varieties of lettuce are okay for turtles. The only ones I know for sure are romaine and green/red leaf lettuce, but I keep seeing other kinds of greens in those mixed salad bags and it would be nice to try lots of different kinds if they're okay.

Ones I've seen but am not sure about:

Endive
Escarole
Butter
radicchio
Tango
Cabbage

Thank you!

I know that Endive has more calcium then phosphorus, I am not really sure about the rest though. My RES LOVE Radicchio and Cabbage, so I hope someone can tell me if they are ok, so I can feed them more often then I am.

Endive, escarole and radicchio is ok, cabbage should be limited. Not sure about the other stuff!

I only ate iceberg until I found out it wasn't good for turtles...so I grew/ate romaine lettuce...Now there's all these types of lettuce..wow..I heard of Boston Leaf or something before...

I've given my turtles tango and butter lettuce as well. Actually, all that stuff except the cabbage comes in one of those bags of Spring Mix, doesn't it? I give everything except the cabbage (I've never seen it in a bag of lettuces, though). I sometimes get bags with beet greens and baby spinach, which I don't give, mixed in. My turtles also like oak lettuce (looks exactly like green oak leaves) when it's in those bags.

Mine love the Boston/Butter lettuce. i get that for them about once a month, and they actually beg for it!
