No, it only makes them pee a lot. That is the WRONG ANSWER!!! Lettuce CAN KILL a Guinea Pig! Iceburg Lettuce contains a lot of water & no vitamin C, which is essential for piggie health. NEVER feed your piggie Iceburg Lettuce. Foods that are safe are: Parsley Top veggie for "C" and Calcium. Buy in bunches at grocery store. Fresh Spinach, as above in nutrition. Kale- Has Loads of calcium and vitamin "C" Apple's --but not on a daily basis( ***I say this because one green veggie should be given with an apple or a carrot or any other non-green veggie)--great source of nutrition! Carrots- read above. Do NOT feed them the greens on the top of the bunch. Collard greens -Cheap & healthy! A bit smelly though. things Not to feed your pig: No Iceburg Lettuce-ever! No turnips, no greens from top of bunches of carrots, no potatoes, no onions, or radishes Be wise: if in doubt-throw the veggie out!( or at keep it away from your pig). Have a happy pig-:) & remember they are social animal's them in pairs. Try the local shelters for adoption. Try NOT to breed, unless you are prepared to spend about 90.00$ on ads and more on education supply's >(paper, ect). Know that shelters often have guinea pigs that are already fixed for you, in advance. Have some extra money tucked away for emg. vet visits. Your pig cage per pig, should be at least 4 by 4 per pig-they need a lot of space and a lot of car concerning cage cleaning Dirty cages will kill your piggy quickly.

What kinds of lettuce can rabbits not eat?
Just like humans, different rabbits have different taste preferences. The only way to know what type of foods one rabbit prefers is to observe her reactions when you feed it to her. Not all lettuces are healthy for rabbits. Avoid white/light-coloured varieties entirely (like iceberg and romaine hearts) because these are low in nutritional value for rabbits, and can lead to illness (like diarrhea). Dark-coloured lettuces (like fully-grown romaine, red leaf, green leaf) are healthy in moderation: they can be included in the rabbit's "salad" but they shouldn't be fed every day. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.

What will happen if you fed your guinea pig iceberg lettuce?
Iceberg Lettuce is not Guinea Pig food and is not a healthy part of their diet. Guinea pigs may eat little pieces of iceberg lettuce as a treat, but will get no nutrition from it other than a little water. Guinea pigs that are given large amounts of iceberg lettuce will fill up on this food which has no nutrition, and it then prevents them from eating as much of their good foods. Eating a diet with lots of iceberg lettuce can cause them to be malnourished, get sick and die if only given iceberg lettuce (sad but true, this lettuce is inexpensive so people may be tempted to give it daily like food- causing their guinea pigs to die of starvation). Guinea pigs need lots of timothy hay and vitamin C rich pellets as the staple of their diet. Things like carrots, oranges, blueberries, green leafy vegetables are great snacks that give them lots of vitamins. Iceberg gives no vitamins, no calories, but makes them feel full- so iceberg lettuce should only be given as a treat in small amounts and try to give them green lettuces instead- the darker the lettuce (spinach) the more nutritional value. Guinea pigs are not allergic to iceberg and will not have an adverse reaction to iceberg- it is safe to give in very small amounts.
Can rabbits eat lettuce from pre-packed salads?

Do not feed your guinea pig tomatoes, too much lettuce, corn, potatoes, anything that has starch in it.
