We’re growing kale and I noticed earlier today that we had an infestation of Cabbage Aphids. I believe we had an infestation a while ago too with a different batch of kale but I just thought they were kale seeds (bc that makes sense) and washed them off (they were green at that time). I’ve cut off all stalks containing the bugs or any trace of them but I want to know the dangers this could impose on my Russian, my mom said it might be extra protein but torts don’t eat insects (to my knowledge) so how much of a risk will it be if he does accidentally ingest a couple Aphids??
