RE: My latest succulent treasure, Tylecodon Buchholzianus

in #succulents7 years ago

Now I have to ask: what about animals? Is there ever a concern about animals eating poisonous plants? Do they naturally know better? Our property isn't fenced in, and the neighbor's dog sometimes crosses the treeline into our property. I would hate to plant something super pretty, only to harm their dog.

Adult dogs don't usually chew on plants. Puppies are another story, though. Poisonous plants are mostly a danger to grazing livestock. Goats and sheep will often eat plants like this and die from it
