| one of my guys is eating a rubber plant! We just noticed that one or both have been nibbling, now a signifcant portion of the lower leaves are missing with little naw marks Neither one of them shows any symptoms of being sick after the nibbling, and they apparently have been at it for some time. I like the rubber plants and dont want to get rid of them, but if its them or the silly yorkies the plants obviously have to go. I can spray some bitter dog repellent on the leaves, but should we worry about long term health or the overarching reason for their eating the rubber trees? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Roxie chews on my rubber tree plant when a leave falls off. SHe doesn't reaally eat them, just tear them up. So I haven't had any issues with her and them.

| I did find this link http://www.doberdogs.com/Toxic.html I searched for rubber plant and found nothing, so hopefully there is no problem. I did spray the doggy repellent - which also is not very pleasant for people. |
