Feeding and Nutrition :: Radish Greens?

Turtle diets and eating habits discussed here.

Post Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2008 10:10 am   Radish Greens?

In the the chelonion world, Turnip greens are good for aqautic turtles, box turtles, and even forest tortoises!

But what about radish greens? I'm growing a whole bunch of radishes and are radish greens as good as turnip greens?

Are radishes and turnips the same? Kind of like the cucumber and pickle thing?

So my main question is; Are radish greens okay for turtles/tortoises to eat?


(Haven't asked a turtle question on here for ages!)


Thanks,

Kevin

I couldn't find any reason why they wouldn't be okay to feed. Turnips and radishes are different veggies though, not like the cucumber-pickle relationship.
