Poppy flowers?
« on: June 19, 2010, 02:31:34 PM »
I was wondering if chipmunks are ok to eat poppy flowers. I know that they like roses and other flowers but not sure if they could eat poppy. :dontknow:
Has anyone here given them to their chipmunks and is it safe or not ???, as I don;t want my chipmunks to go high from it. :happy7: :happy7:

I have no idea if poppies are safe for chippies, but my rule of thumb is if I don't know I don't give. Better to be safe than sorry.
