i resently reintroduced veggies to crush and squirt (i tried when they were younger but they refused).
and when i gave them a romaine letuce leaf crush looked at me like i was crazy (squirt was hiding in his cave, he's shy) and then kept begging for some shimp but i told him he couldn't have any until he ate all his letuce, he just kept staring at me, so i ripped up the leaf in to smaller peices to see if that might spark his interest, but he just ignored it. he was by the filter where a small whurl-pool has occurred so the piece kept floating around his head and hitting him until he finally got mad at it and bit it, thus relizing it was food. he then started to attack it like never before!
hee hee, silly turtle.

anyway, what i wanted to ask is does any one know if they can have parsley and cilontro? i give it to my bunnies so i always have some around. does anyone know if it's good for them or not, because it wasn't listed on either of the lists.

Nutritionally, I don't know whether they could be offered or not. Personally I thing both have a rather strong taste, so I don't know if they would even like it.

Someone told me parsley was not good because it contains a high level of something (oxalic acid?). Too bad - Spot liked it. Don't know about cilantro. Basil is ok and turtles love basil.
