No iceberg lettuce is not okay, however they can enjoy romaine, baby gem, and baby leaf lettuces. You can feed a bit of these lettuces daily or alternate with some coriander or parsley leaves or a bit of spinach or kale. Parsley, kale and spinach are rather high calcium and should only be fed sparingly once or twice a week. There is an excellent diet guide on the forum that you can browse for or someone more tech savvy might link in for you? Bell peppers and cucumber are good daily veggies too.

Iceberg contains too much water for piggies so it can give them a runny tum. Like @PigglePuggle has already said there are lots of other alternatives mine particularly like butterhead lettuce.
I’m afraid not. It’s a definite no-no. But as @PigglePuggle has said there are other choices they can have in small quantities.
