could a venus fly trap plant harm an animal if eaten?


Answers:
i don't know but keep it away from animals
If it's eaten it would be quite bad! Not poisonous though to animals
Keep it away from your animals it only goes after things that fly lol
It could if eaten by kittens or pups or children. They catch insects and often insects are poisoned them selfs. Also they have anirritation order, and acidity interior for digesting insects and these chemicals could make kids or pets sick.
About the only animal I can thinkof which could eat them safely ar egoats and hogs maybe.
