Not a thing, didn't you read the Beatrix Potter Books?
Iceberg lettuce doesn't have much in the way of nutrition for humans,
The Good
This food is low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Iron and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate and Manganese.
The Bad
A large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars.

It's horrible for his digestive system and has the ability to kill him via wet tail. Plus, it's just unnecessary to feed a rabbit wet food. It's unhealthy, and like I said, wet food can kill them, especially if they're under the age of 6 months. An adult rabbit should be fed timothy hay with pellets on the side.

Iceberg lettuce has no nutritional value. Better feed your rabbit something else as well.

Iceberg lettuce is 99% water and contains no vitamins or nutritional value. Try adding dark green veggies, carrots, peanut butter and corn cob for variety.

DO NOT feed it to him anymore. Iceberg lettuce as too much water in it and can cause diarrhea and possibly death. Darker green leafy veggies like kale and spinach can be fed in moderation

It has very little nutritional value compared to other greens and vegies. It is a major cause of diarrhea in rabbits.

too much water in it, he's not getting enough or the "right" nutrients. They also like Alfalfa and Timothy hay. Try some cinnamon life, cheerios or chocolate. My bunny loved 'em. He hit puberty before we had the chance to get him fixed and took off, we miss him.
