Spinach

[leonardo the tmnt]

Ok so my dad went to the store and bought spinach instead of spring mix can I feed spinach to my tort the container is usually gone or eaten all up in about 1 week (when it is spring mix)

Not really. They, members, even say to pick out the spinach that is in spring mix.

 

[pdrobber]

some members do feed it to their tortoises occasionally.

I wouldn't use it for the whole week as the ONLY food fed. I would use it sparingly throughout the week as a mix in. I would eat the rest

I agree. Some of it mixed in once in a while is fine. All spinach everyday for a week might cause a problem.

Spinach got a really bad rap from some well-meaning but not-fully-informed people, and it suddenly became a forbidden food. The reality has been discussed here several times, and is even the subject of a stickie- http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Spinach-it-is-not-as-bad-as-you-may-think#axzz26mmeO2MX
