Right now I feed my turtles pellets everyother day but I have carrots in there everyday. I just read a post saying that wasn't good
They also LOVE corn, but I don't feed them that too often b/c I was told it was too good either... and peas they aren't to fond of, plus...they aren't good EITHER...
For lettuce I feed them baby romaine, but they make a huge mess with it so it isn't in there all the time. They really like it though.
So, anyway, what veggies can you use as a safe staple??

The key is variety. That being said, mine usually get a few leaves of lettuce a day, plus a treat of sweet pepper, grapes, carrots, sweet potato, etc. to go with it. I use varieties of lettuce, and dandelions.

You need to focus on feeding dark leafy greens with a variety of veggies along with them, like Missi said, whether it's messy or not.

If you don't like the mess in the tank, you can try a seperate feeding container. I personally think that is a mess in and of itself, but for some people it is a better option.

Dandelions are considered to be really good, some lettuce is better than others (red leaf, for example), but most lettuce is more of a filler. Collard greens are good to add to the diet as well.

Don't know how much you're giving, but perhaps if you fed less of it, there would be less of a mess in the tank.

Ok, sounds awesome.
I am going to buy more lettuce whenever we go to the store b/c we ran out of the other stuff.

We're about to move too...In like 4 weeks, should I feed them the lettuce when we stop for the night? Or just the pellets?
