Rinse the lettuce in cold water. You can divide big leaves into smaller pieces (not super small). Some buns prefer the green part of the leaves over the white part, but both are fine to give.

Serve only what he’ll eat in one sitting, lettuce wilts quickly. Keep the head of lettuce in a bag in the fridge.

So basically you should rinse off the lettuce, an give your rabbit a few leaves. Since lettuce wilts easily you should put whatever he doesn’t eat and what’s left over in the fridge.

My bunnies love frisee, but sometimes buns can take a while to warm up to a new food. You can offer it along with veggies he likes, and remove it if he doesn’t eat it.

I think Bam just meant that the leaves will keep better if you keep them attached to the head, in a bag in the fridge, as opposed to separating them all and rinsing them ahead of time.

Some bunnies are picky too. Or they just don’t know they like something because they’ve never had it before. And yes, it’s better to keep any type of lettuce attached to the head and just take leaves off as you go.

Oh yes, sorry, a head of lettuce is the leaves that are attached to the stem.

Buns are as a rule naturally suspicious of new food. It can take several tries before they decide to have a taste of a new veg, but once they do, they will as a rule decide it’s yummy.

In order to waste as little lettuce as possible, its wise to only serve small bits for starters.
