My granddaughter got a sultana tortoise baby last summer at a local pet store. She seems healthy enough but today there is a warning online about not eating romaine lettuce due to a good possibility it is e-coli contaminated. Apparently this outbreak of e-coli in Canada was traced to romaine lettuce and here in states FDA has not issued the official "pull- from- shelves", but is a good possibility. It is one of the things I use to supplement feed my granddaughter's tortoise... per the pet store (they said iceberg had no nutrients for her) Do you know if tortoise can become sick from romaine? We will not be eating it, but I didn't know about tortoises. I cannot find anything on line to address it. Thank-you!
