Well no it isn't. Bunnies like iceberg lettuce it isn't harmful nor bad they will enjoy it
Actually, iceberg lettuce is harmful for rabbits because it can lead to diarrhoea.
All lettuce can lead to diarrhoea because it contains a chemical called Lactucarium; however, iceberg and other white or light-coloured lettuces have more of this chemical than dark-coloured lettuces (like fully-grown Romaine, Green leaf, Red leaf, etc). Also, iceberg has very little nutritional value for rabbits. For these two reasons, most experts advise avoiding iceberg entirely. Dark-coloured lettuces are healthy in moderation.
There are many other foods your rabbit will enjoy that are safer to eat. If you want to give your bunny a treat, consider a bite of carrot or apple instead of iceberg lettuce.
