Florette Crispy Salad Warning...
For those of you feeding Florette Crispy Salad to your torts please be aware that they have added Lollo/Spinach to the ingredients.
I noticed a different leaf in a bag I bought on Saturday and phoned them today to ask what it was as it looked like Spinach and they confirmed it was Spinach and that it had been added to the ingredients because of shortages of the other ingredients. I asked why they hadn't put it on the ingredients list to warn people and they said they put it on the front where the use by date is so people can see it....well, I didn't see it and I don't know if Lollo/Spinach is ok for tortoises so maybe someone can help please. Thanks.

I bought a bag of this and thought I had picked up the wrong one by mistake, very annoying as I had to pick out all the b#**#y spinach

Is spinach not good for tortoises then?
