because if it was rabbits they would also have gone for lettuces.

I think that's a myth. Most rabbits don't particularly like lettuce (and
it's not good for them either).

I would expect them to go for carrots and primroses (if you have any) first
of all.

It may well not be rabbits, but the fact that lettuces have not been
touched isn't really proof either way.

If there is a lot of digging and widescale destruction rather than just
eating that might tend to point away from rabbits - rabbits like roots, but
they don't usually go to that much effort if there is other food about. I
think they'd be more likely just to eat the tops off.
