Lettuces have a chemical in them called lactucarium. This causes diarrhea in rabbits. Also, lettuce has low nutritional value. Light-coloured lettuces have more lactucarium than dark-coloured lettuces, which is why light-coloured lettuces should be avoided -- they also have no nutritional value at all.
Dark-coloured lettuces are high in vitamins and minerals that are good for rabbits, and they're relatively low in lactucarium, so dark-coloured lettuces (like green leaf, red leaf, Romaine -- but not the pale inside) are healthy for rabbits in moderate amounts: you can include them in your rabbit's "salad" rotation, but rabbits should NOT be given lettuce in any great amount and should not be given lettuce daily.
Also, you should wash an vegetables you give your rabbit before you give them to it. Don't dry them after because the extra water is good for them.
