Question
i was just wondering if i could feed iceburg leaf lettuce to my sons lopp ear rabbits THANK YOU

Answer
Iceburg lettuce should not be fed to rabbits for two reasons. First, it contains almost no nutrients, and secondly because it can cause digestional upset because it is too watery. Instead, feed dark leafy lettuces like romain lettuce. Those have less water content and are packed full of great nutrients.
