can a bunny eat iceburg lettue

[terrie]

I was told that bunnies can't eat iceburg lettuce is that true? thanks

 

[MiniLopHop]

True, it's just water and no nutrition. They can have green or red leaf lettuce, romaine, and basically any of the other leaf lettuces. Just not iceburg.

There would be no reason to give a rabbit iceberg lettuce unless it was on a diet & it needed something to fill up the stomach a bit. Even then, I'd try only a bite a day for a few days, just to make sure it doesn't cause diarrhea.

Iceberg doesn't contain substantial fibre to keep a bunny tummy running - it's pretty well 95% water.

There is a comprehensive list of lettuces and other veg here:

Yes, iceberg, like what it's named for, is just a different source of water that the dieting rabbit might enjoy. And he or she won't even want to use salad dressing.

With no nutritional value to iceberg lettuce, I'd steer clear away from it. There are many other greens available for your bunny.

Our bunnies will eat just about anything--iceberg lettuce is on the "no-fly" list.
