Iceberg lettuce

Arghh!

Bought my pigs some mixed leaves and just realised it has iceberg in it.
I've removed the rest but they ate a fair bit...

What can I expect now?

I'm pretty sure that they will be fine but they might get an upset tummy from it :-)

Wont be long term damage though and those bags of mixed leaves hardly have any in them

Ah Thanks!

I just over worry. Really annoying as it looked like the bag I bought the other day and I did check the back for ingredients but probably scanned them too quick.

Shame cos they were loving it lol

I have been caught out before too......... luckily as i was about to pop into their house i thought OMG!

I now read the packets....... but then that's tricky cause at times it says.... "seasonal lettuces" mallethead UGH that's hard for us people who care for our little ones isn't it!

WELL DONE for grabbing out what you could!
Keep an eye out for runny poops, ease off veggies and offer more hay and their pellets

Small amounts won't harm them - no nutrition in iceberg, mainly water content so as others have said, can upset little tums rolleyes
My piggies won't touch it anyway so if any does slip past me, is left in the bowls
Romaine is their fave and much more nutritional I believe
