There is no problem with guinea pigs eating a small amount of lettuce daily. They certainly enjoy it. It's true that lettuce is high in water, so there is some chance of a guinea pig developing diarrhoea if it eats too much. Always remove any uneaten lettuce afterwards, as most guinea pigs will only eat what at they want, and the remaining lettuce will get fusty.

∙ 12y agoCockatiel's can eat lettuce, but this vegetable has no nutritional benefit for them as it is basically water.
Try kale, garden peas, brussel sprouts, dark green cabbage, sweetcorn etc.
