Yes you can feed them lettuce however, feed them leaffy lettuce that is dark green. If you just feed them iceburg lettuce they will not get nutrition from it. so romain lettuce or something like that is good. They love it too!

They need a cup of lettuce daily spring mix and romaine is good. Also half a cup of fruits and veggies daily. Green bell pepper (not spicy) Oranges, blueberries, and cucumbers. NO carrots they can cause kidney and bladder stones also an unlimited supply of timothy hay fresh water, and plain guinea pig pellets with no dried fruit or hay bits in it. Hope this helps.

Most gerbils will not eat lettece, but some breeds do. Give it a try! If they eat it great! It will not hurt them. If they do not oh well.

Yeah. Don't give it a big leaf though. Rip it in very tiny pieces.

Yes, lettuce leaves are OK for gerbils. Be sure not to feed them cabbage though, the they puff up (due to the gas content)and it's painful. It also puts a dent in your wallet to fix.
