Do water turtles(Sliders, Maps, and Softshells) eat Romain lettuce and is it good for them. Thanks.

I have to learn to read better. Romaine is healthy and will be accepted by most omnivorous turtles. I haver had little success trying to get my Florida softshell to eat anything but Reptomin, Worms, fish and the occasional pinkie. She's about a foot long now and I've had her since she was a hatchling.

Thanks. I usually fed mine water cress but the store stopped selling it. I wasn't sure about the Romaine though.
