Hello all ~
 
So many of you have free-range ferrets I was able to compile a list of
toxic plants.
 
These plants are either grown outside or inside as houseplants/flowers.
Some have parts that are toxic (roots, leaves, stems, flowers).  It is
best not to have them in your house, but if there is one you love, please
keep it away from your fuzzies.  If you handle them in your garden always
wash your hands before doing anything else or handling your pets.  You
may notice that some of these plants are the basis of either a
homeopathic or herbal remedy.  These remedies are made by professionals,
and should never be used by those who have not studied them.
