Can cats eat iceberg lettuce?

Cats are meat-eaters. Vegetables are not their natural food.

Why can't rabbits eat lettuce?

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.

Is lettuce considered an herb?

If we go back to the old 20 Questions TV Program, we find that everything is basically classified as being either being animal, vegetable, or mineral. Therefore, since herbs are plants, they are vegetables. However, if you meant "are herbs normal, edible vegetables, like a tomato (which is actually a fruit), lettuce, beets, or celery, etc.", then the answer is "not usually". Many flower petals such as marigolds, zinnias, (even) roses are edible and are sometimes part of a salad or dessert. Yet these are not usually considered to be herbs. Also, many herbs in small quantities are used to flavor foods or as medicines. As another example, marigold petals, placed in oil, are used to treat skin problems. Some herbs make very strong medicines and should never be used as food.

Patriqq's answer:

This is dependent on how much each person consumes. There are 16 ounces in a pound. 2.5 pounds = 40 ounces. A head of lettuce typically weighs 12 ounces, which can usually be consumed by 3 - 4 people. SO, if a person consumes 3 ounces of lettuce in a sitting, and there are 40 ounces to be had...about 13 people can be fed.

Can dwarf rabbits eat lettuce?

Dwarf rabbits can eat the same foods as other pet rabbits. When it comes to pet rabbit diet, the important factor isn't breed but size: small rabbits eat smaller portions!

Rabbits can eat some varieties of lettuce in moderation. Dark-coloured varieties (like romaine, green leaf, red leaf) are healthy and can be included in the rabbit's "salad," but too much can lead to gas or diarrhea or other illness, so lettuce shouldn't be fed every day. White/light-coloured varieties of lettuce should be avoided entirely because they too easily lead to diarrhea, and they're low in nutritional value anyway.

See the related question below about the pet rabbit diet (it applies to dwarves as well).
