The plant contains a milky sap which can cause irritation and digestive upset in cats and dogs. While a small accidental nibble may not necessarily cause serious problems, pets should not be encouraged to chew or eat the plant, particularly in larger quantities. We recommend keeping your Ficus somewhere your pets are unlikely to reach it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eEach Bonsai Is Unique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAs with all living trees, every Ficus Bonsai is different.
