Thanks!...long list, and I didn't find anything that I thought of on
there. I did see the Spider plants, which my rats love to dig in/chew.
That said, I have no way of knowing whether the American Spider Plant
is the same as the Australian one :s I should have that list in mt Rat
book by the same author....well, you'd think so anyway
A lot I wouldn't have tried or know are toxic to people. I will cross
reference that list with this one and see whats there -
