Foods Toxic to Goats:
* Rhubarb: The leaves are especially toxic.
* Azalea, Rhododendron, and Mountain Laurel: These contain toxins that can cause heart problems and even death.
* Yew: All parts of this plant are poisonous.
* Nightshade (including tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant): The leaves and stems are toxic.
* Avocado: The pit, leaves, and skin are poisonous.
* Chocolate: This is a common treat for humans, but it's toxic to goats.
* Onions and Garlic: These contain sulfides that can damage red blood cells.
* Moldy food: This can cause serious health problems.
* Large amounts of grain: While grain is fine in moderation, too much can lead to digestive problems.
Other Things to Avoid:
