Ingesting lavender?

Sun Feb 12, 2006 10:57 am

Yeah, you read right. My rats ate lavender. I had a little pouch of it and they managed to find it and do some nibbling.
I did a look around online to find anything at all on pets eating lavender (I think they're seeds?) but came up with nothing.
Ideas?

Mine get fresh lavender when it's flowering and haven't showed any signs of harm done - so I wouldn't worry

I don't think it will be a problem... lavender isn't generally toxic and is often regarded as both edible and a herb, so they're probably ok.
