I am trying to add more variety to my tort's diet and my vet gave me a list of greens, but it is a bit confusing and it includes some things I have seen people on these forums advise not to give.
The list includes:
Arugula, Basil, Beet Greens, Bibb/Boston Lettuce, Bok Choy, Cilantro, Collards, Curly Endive, Dandelion Greens, Dill, Green Leaf Lettuce, Kale, Mustard Greens, Mustard Spinach, Parsley, Radicchio, Red Leaf Lettuce, Romaine, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Turnip Greens, Watercress.
What are your guys' thoughts on this? The list also has the calcium and oxalate amounts, but is not specific regarding what types of these greens to feed (for example, are all types of kale okay? even curly kale?) or when to feed only in moderation. He loves the dandelion greens, but the list says they are high in oxalates. Should dandelion greens be limited?
