I wouldn't want Tino to eat any of it and get poisoned. :( Can't be too careful can you? I won't be letting him near anyway, just in case he chews on the wire for the lights.

So I guess a Christmas tree would be OK as long as it wasn't sprayed with anything before you bought it. Trees and Bushes Source: Gillian Willis Apple Arbutus Ash Aspen Beech Birch Citrus (any) Cottonwood Crabapple Dogwood Elm Eucalyptus Fir Guava Hawthorn Larch Madrona Magnolia Manzanita Norfolk Island Pine Nuts (except chestnut and oak) Palms (areca, date, fan, lady, parlour) Palms (howeia, kentia, phoenix, sago) Pear Pine Poplar Sequoia (Redwood) Willow

We never know what's going to scare our little guys! It always seem to be something we don't expect. You could take her on your finger and walk slowly up to the tree. As soon as she starts to pull away, don't go any closer. Just praise her and take her back to a place that's comfortable for her . Do this a few times and hopefully she will become more comfortable around the tree. :)
