I have been playing with the idea of buying a small eucalyptus so that I could plant it and have access to leaves and branches for the little ones(not that they are spoiled or anything).

My question is, are there specific species of eucalyptus that are glider friendly and are there ones to avoid? I know eucalyptus is poisonous (to other pets) so I'll have to keep it away from my dog and cats, but I'd really like to try having some on hand for the gliders.

Does anyone know which species is best for gliders?

I know some are safe and some aren't, there was post about it on one of the Facebook pages, I'll see if I can find it.

Here was a post from JazzNZoeysmom...Euc.com I think is the site people have ordered from.

This is just one!

the website that people say to order eucalyptus branches from says they will send you seeds upon request with your order.
