Yes, stay away from iceberg lettuce. It had no nutrients and too much water. It can cause diarrhea. I use Romaine lettuce for my 2 rabbits. Every night they get 5-6 mini carrots, 2 leaves of Romaine lettuce (small pieces) and a large piece of.celery in addition to their regular foods. Later I'm adding more to the salad once their used to these foods.
I found the info. below on a site from the ASPCA-see link for more information. Just scroll down to Diet. It gives information by age also.
"Fresh leafy greens make up a third component of your pet’s diet. He’ll enjoy dark leaf lettuces, collard greens, turnip greens and carrot tops. We recommend a minimum of two cups per six pounds of rabbit."
Be sure to introduce the foods one at a time so it doesn't upset the stomach/intestines.

lettuce yes but not romanian because thats poisonous to a rabbit
celery...i just tried some on one of the baby rabbits and they wont eat it but i gave some today to the mom. she was eating it up good.
youd think they wouldnt be able to since its stringy but its perfectly fine. although as with basically anything, give it in moderation and never give vegetables as their main diet.

Yes, just as long as it's not too much and that it's not iceberg lettuce. They would get diarrhea. I think that they would enjoy carrots or apples more.

Small quantities only. A handful of good 'clean' grass is much better for them though.
