What animals eat a canna?

While the canna plant itself is generally considered toxic to animals, some animals will nibble on them, particularly the leaves.

Here are some animals that might be tempted to eat a canna plant, but it's important to note that they can experience adverse reactions:

* Rabbits: They might nibble on canna leaves, but it's not recommended as it can cause digestive issues.

* Deer: Deer are known to browse on a variety of plants, including cannas.

* Squirrels: Squirrels are known to nibble on leaves and flowers, so they might take a bite of a canna plant.

It's important to be aware of the potential dangers and to take precautions to prevent your pets and wildlife from eating canna plants.

Here are some ways to keep your canna plants safe:

* Fence off your garden: This will prevent deer and other larger animals from accessing your plants.

* Use deterrents: You can use commercial animal repellents or try natural deterrents like cayenne pepper or garlic.

* Plant in raised beds: This can make your canna plants less accessible to rabbits and squirrels.

* Monitor your plants: Regularly check your canna plants for any signs of damage or nibbling.

If you suspect your pet or any animal has ingested a canna plant, contact your veterinarian immediately.
