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.
What happens to the cells of a lettuce leaf after you add dressing to it?
It wilts because dressings are typically more concentrated than the cells of the lettuce, putting dressing on ahead of time will cause the lettuce cells to lose water because of osmosis. the water will tend to want to LEAVE the cell to go to equillibrium.
Lettuce is a vegetable subject to spoilage. After bringing it home from a grocery store, the lettuce should be placed in a refrigerator. This is true for iceberg and romaine lettuce.
In Germany in 1823 a young man named leroy tucce who was the eldest son of a German farmer and a Swiss dressmaker was on the farm collecting the family vegetables from the farm so his father could bring them to the farmers market, when he noticed quite a few birds on the far side of the farm. He thought maybe his scarecrow had fallen so he went to investigate. It turned out that the birds had gathered to see a new crop which looked like a cabbage. He pulled the head of leaves out thinking it was just overgrown weeds when he heard his father calling him. Without realising he brought the crop to his father and his father examined, washed and tasted it and he later decided to name the new crop after the discoverer.

Yes, ladybugs can survive without food. But the insects in question (Coccinellidae family) find it easier to do so in the fall and winter when they prioritize safety from inclement weather after eating their fill in spring and summer. Ladybird beetles have reserves upon which they can draw, but not during the warm weather when they are just starting their yearly jobs as beneficial predators of such garden pests as aphids, mealybugs, and scale.
Set your refrigerator and produce drawer temperature and humidity controls correctly. You don't want your refrigerator temperature set low and the humdity high or your lettuce will "sweat" and get soggy, especially if there is water from the leaves already pooling in the produce bag. Likewise, if you have the fridge set to the coldest setting, and the humidity set too high or the leaves are wet, your lettuce will frost.
simply wrap it in a moistened paper towel as soon as you get home from the store and place it back in the plastic bag before storing it in the drawer. The really absorbent kind of paper towel works best.

What part of romaine lettuce can you eat?
This is a lettuce with more green than white leaves. It is oblong shaped and it also can be cooked. It adds a very good flavor in things you would use iceburg lettuce for.
Romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa longifolia) is an annual plant of the Asteraceae family.
Romaine (also known as Cos lettuce) forms an erect, compact rosette of elongated leaves, approaching the character of a head. A white latex oozes from its leaf base and the thicker ribs of older, larger leaves and is reflected in the first part of its Latin name, Lactuca, which means milk. It is relatively tolerant to heat and was developed in a moderately warm climate.
