Is the reason why iceberg is a no no because of the high water content?
It got me thinking because cucumber, strawberries, tomato etc is also mostly water?
Any thoughts?
 
@Beemz That's something that has been said many times about iceberg. So, it can give them an upset stomach if they eat too much

Personally I think it's more to do with the lack of nutrients in it, so it's quite a waste to feed it.

Other foods like cucumber, strawberries etc are fine to be fed, but I usually do it in small amounts. My boys do get cucumber daily but only a small amount.
 
Iceberg, in my opinion, is just like eating crunchy water there is no taste to it so I don't think there is anything good in it!
 
Iceberg has no nutritional value for them plus it can cause upset tummies and there is quite a few threads out there on various forums/message boards to back it up
