Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / October 2007edible flowers
would the blossoms off fruit trees be ok for rats to eat? What other flowers could they safely ingest, should they like the smell of them? Roses? The nectar laden types...ah...jasmin..honeysuckle..[having a seniors moment here] others anyway. Not bulb types, or known poisonous ones of course. Yeah, its spring here and I just noticed the blossoms :s > would the blossoms off fruit trees be ok for rats to eat? What other > flowers could they safely ingest, should they like the smell of them?

I know marigolds and some pansies are human safe but I don't know if they are rat-safe.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Tracey 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 - http://www.marketfresh.com.au/flowers/2_flowers_guide/Edible_flowers.asp i bet they'd love honeysuckle. > would the blossoms off fruit trees be ok for rats to eat?
