I remember someone asked this a while back, the general feeling was that they don't have the same gut bacteria,which means they can't digest it like mammals can,so not a good idea,wait and see what the rest say, but I think I'm right mate.

Its just mostly water, not a lot of good stuff in it for healthy eating, I go for thick, dark green leaves like cabbage(normal or savoy),spring greens,sprouts,kale,broccilli leaves not the florrettes, mine wont eat bok/pak choi.

Lettuce is just water and some carbohydrates, there is almost no nutrition in it.
