guineapigvet said:Lettuce of any variety should only be given as a treat,and only in small amounts.Lettuce contains laudenam and has no nutritional value.Iceburg lettuce is too high in nitrates for piggies. Mary

I was also told this years ago, think actually I read it in cavys magazine any spare lettuce goes in our koi pond they love it and attack like Parana, my pigs dont get lettuce much if at all, maybe a little snippit in my hand but not as a regular treat
