What kinds of lettuce can rabbits not eat?

Answer 1

Just like humans, different rabbits have different taste preferences. The only way to know what type of foods one rabbit prefers is to observe her reactions when you feed it to her.

Not all lettuces are healthy for rabbits. Avoid white/light-coloured varieties entirely (like iceberg and romaine hearts) because these are low in nutritional value for rabbits, and can lead to illness (like diarrhea). Dark-coloured lettuces (like fully-grown romaine, red leaf, green leaf) are healthy in moderation: they can be included in the rabbit's "salad" but they shouldn't be fed every day.

Answer 2

yes. Rabbits can eat lettuce. Just make sure you provide other food sources as well..

yes, any kind of lettuce EXCEPT for ICEBERG/HEAD lettuce!! it gives rabbits diarrhea and is considered a no-no. :)

Answer 3

No. White/light-coloured lettuces (like romaine hearts and iceberg) should be avoided: they're low in nutritional value, and they can lead to illness (like diarrhea). Dark-coloured varieties (like fully-grown romaine, red leaf, green leaf, Chinese greens, mesclun mix) are healthy for rabbits in moderation: they can be incorporated into the daily "salad" but they shouldn't be fed every day. See the related question below for more details about the rabbit diet.

Answer 4

Guinea Pigs seem to like Romaine lettuce the best although they pretty much will eat any kind of lettuce you give them.

They need a cup of lettuce daily. The best kinds to give them are romaine, and spring mix. Do NOT give them iceburg. This lettuce has no nutritional value whatsoever.

Answer 5

Rabbits shouldn't eat white or light-coloured lettuces, like iceberg, or baby Romaine. Rabbits should only eat dark-coloured lettuces, like the dark adult leaves on a head of Romaine, Green Leaf, or Red Leaf lettuce. Dark-coloured lettuces are good for rabbits in moderation; you can include them in the rotation of "salad" greens. See the related question below for more details about the rabbit diet.

Answer 6

Rabbits can eat all kinds of grass. They can also eat hay, sunflower seeds, and clovers too.

Answer 7

I know that they can't eat iceberg lettuce

^^ well... they can have ice berg lettuce, but there is no point. It has no nutriental value at all. I'd go with romaine lettuce.
