Are creeping fig plants dangerous to animals (puppies)?

I want to plant creeping fig plants around my dog run, but I will be bringing home a new puppy soon and I'm anticipating she will destroy some. They will be on the opposite side of the fence, but puppies work magic. Just want to make sure they won't make her sick

Are creeping fig plants dangerous to animals (puppies)?
From what I've just read, the sap from Creeping Fig may cause a rash after contact with mouth or skin. See nothing more serious. See site:

You can do a Internet seach like I did and then you can look to see which one are OK.





I just typed in toxic plants to dogs. It came up with a whole list of plants and flowers and trees that are toxic to dog.


Good luck with your seach!c
Reply:Info. on dangerous houseplants to pets- www.apcc.aspca.org Good luck with your new pup!
Reply:your regular vet should be able to answer this qustion more specifically, but figs (gourds) acccording to the ASPCA are OK, Ficus varieties are dangerous.





I would be more worried about the pup gettting a forgein body in it's GI tract than anything else. Check with your regular vet to be sure.

How many fig newtons equal one serving of fruit?

I have re-discovered fig newtons! I tell myself they're healthier for me than regular cookies because they have fruit in them, but I want to know -- am I fooling myself? How many do I have to eat to get one serving of fruit?

How many fig newtons equal one serving of fruit?
You should eat some fig newtons and more real fruit. Just becaust it has fruit in it, it doesn't mean it's healthy. Especially because the figs were probably cooked in the process and that destroys some vitamins. Also, you're getting all of the extra sugar and empty calories with it.

Reply:agreed with charming!!
Reply:I am not sure of the exact number but, here is what you do : Eat fig newtons until you end up in your doctors office. At this point tell him or her how many you have eaten (that will be your number). The Doc will put you on a very strict diet and then you will get your serving of fruit.


Formula:

__________ = diet ( serving of fruit)

Will creeping fig (Ficus pumila) attach itself to shade cloth which is attached to a wrought iron fence?

The shade cloth is attached to a fence on the east side. Location of yard is in San Diego about one mile inland from the beach. I would like to plant creeping fig and have it eventually cover the whole fence.

Will creeping fig (Ficus pumila) attach itself to shade cloth which is attached to a wrought iron fence?
Probably. Creeping fig attaches itself to just about any surface through aerial roots. You may have to get the vine started by pining or tying it to the shade cloth, but is should attach and grow from there.

Is 'the fig' gesture offensive in Japan or Korea?

I know that the gesture known as 'the fig', where the thumb pokes out between the index and middle finger is offensive in Russia, Turkey and Greece. I'd heard that it was equally rude in Japan and Korea. Is that true?

Is 'the fig' gesture offensive in Japan or Korea?
Yes, it is true.





Doing this gesture, known in America as "stealing the baby's nose," is equal to either yourself or someone else giving the "finger" to another person.
Reply:Thank you for the Best Answer vote. Report It

Reply:Yes very offensive. The equivalent of giving the finger in US.


Had a friend we were out partying with some girls. He did the old "Got your nose" to the girl he was hitting on. Her face turned three shades of red. We explained that we do this to small children in the US and she explained the meaning to a Korean person.


Never did that again, except to good friends jokingly.
Reply:anything rude like gesture to anyones being i would think its rude. especially if its to do with thier flag in thier own country again no matter what counrty, ill say


Biodiversity in fig tree?

insects,animals and birds which depend on fig tree for their survival?

Biodiversity in fig tree?
In the tree or on the ground the fig fruits are eaten by many animals, including birds, bats, monkeys, and animals living on the forest floor. These animals help scatter the fig seeds to other locations in the forest. Thus, while accomplishing its own reproduction, the fig tree also enables successful reproduction by the fig wasp, and provides food for many animals of the forest.





Fig wasp larvae somehow prevent the fig from ripening, thus increasing the likelihood of their survival (i.e. they mature to adult wasps and escape from the fig before it ripens and is eaten by some animal). But even inside the fig they are not totally safe! There is still another kind of wasp (the "fig wasp" parasitic wasp) that drills a small hole into the fig and deposits her egg near a developing fig wasp larva; the larva hatching from the egg survives by eating the fig wasp larva.
