Hi guys,
I’ve read that some lettuces (iceberg, for example) aren’t good for rabbits. However, I found “batavia” lettuce in the supermarket today and I was wondering if it’s safe. We don’t get a huge variety of rabbit-safe veggies here and it’d be nice if I could add it to Tambor’s diet.

I would think it would be safe, it looks more like a fancy leaf than an iceberg. Lettuce itself isn’t toxic, it’s more that iceberg lettuce tends to cause mushy poops. I would try it out and just add a small part of a leaf into their daily greens and see how it goes, you’ll soon know if it’s well tolerated or not
And any green can be poorly or well tolerated by any different rabbit. -
I couldn’t get chicories this weekend (

) for their veg.
They eat half in the morn and half in the eve (yup, big gullets!)
Leafy lettuce is fine, especially dark green or red lettuces.But as Az says in introduce slowly if they are not used to it.

I’d try it.i can’t say if my buns have had Batavia lettuce, but they have had lettuce that looks like that. I might even have grown some, I buy a bunch of lettuce-seed bags in early spring and never remember what the different varieties are called.
Vienna, letti! I want letti to be the plural of lettuce! Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be
