I am just wondering, Is it necessary to provide lettuce to torts? I have seen on here almost every diet list that isnt 100% graze includes lettuce. I just bought a big bag of collards, turnips, mustard, etc. mix. It has no lettuce at all. I also use the ZooMed brand grassland pellets. Now, the reason I ask, is that I have a russian and I have read that since russians have a propensity to get fat, and since, in their natural environment, not every plant they happen upon is packed with vitamins and calcium, they should have lettuce as part of the diet at all times so they dont get fat. Is this true? IE should I go get a bag of spring mix to mix with the other veg? I dont always get the same food, i mix between spring mix, herb salad, and other sorts like tha, I just happened upon this new mix with ZERO lettuce and now Im wondering if thats okay to feed until its time to get a new bag.
