Dangerous Plants
 
While not quite deadly, the following plants are extremely dangerous if
your ferret eats them.  Exposure may be counteracted by medical treatment
if ingestion is caught and identified early.  As a rule, don t let your
ferret come in contact with dangerous plants; but if he does, don t
panic.  Do get him to a veterinarian immediately.
 
Aroid Family
(Chinese Evergreen, Anthurium, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Green Dragon, Elephant
Ears, Taro, Dumbcane, Cut-leaf Philodendron, Ceriman, Mexican Breadfruit,
Philodendron, Devil's Ivy, Pothos, Skunk Cabbage, Tri-leaf Wonder,
Arrowhead Vine, Nepthytis)
 
Toxicity Rating: Moderate.  Pets may sample these commonly available
plants with a nibble or two, but rarely ingest any quantity sufficient to
cause serious problems or death.  Risk increases with hungry or bored
ferrets housed in close proximity to these plants.
 
Dangerous Parts of Plant: Roots, leaves, stems.
Symptoms: Mouth and throat irritation, salivating, possibly stomach
irritation, and diarrhea (rarely).
 
Typically, ferrets are not severely affected, since a few bites of aroid
plants are often enough to deter to further consumption.

I don't think she actually ate any it, I looked the plant over and didn't
see any tooth marks.  I showed it to her later, and she ignored the
leaves, she wanted to get at the dirt.  Its's been about 14 hours, and
she's isn't showing any symptoms, so I'm thinking she's ok.
 
Thanks!
