It's small and at the bottom of my cage, my panther baby has never shown any interest in it at all. Perhaps if he has a veild it would be an issue as they eat a lot of plant material? However, I believe that poster may have an inaccurate list. The Kammers, the couple I got my baby from, use weeping figs in ALL their cages and I have one in mine. On that person's list it's listed as toxic, I can not believe that the Kammers with their reputation and high quality animals would be using an unsafe plant. They even sell them right on their website as a cage accessory.
