cellarboy Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 My ex-bats have taken a liking to eating the leaves of my hibiscus plant... Is this safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Shirl Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 One of mine eats the leaves off the peace lilly. I don't think they eat what isn't good for them. That's my experience anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hibiscus isn't mentioned on the list of poisonous plants in the FAQ section, so I guess it must be OK. They tend to avoid anything that is dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankycookie Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I know that at least the blooms of the hibiscus plant are a particular treat to my desert tortoise and are considered safe for human consumption (often in teas), so I think your chickens should be fine.
