Some houseplants are highly poisonous for ferrets, dogs, cats, or some other animals so ALWAYS check houseplants with lists of what is safe enough and what is not. Losing a ferret to poisoning is one of the saddest losses because most case of poisoning could have been avoided. Here is where to look:

Here are just a tiny few of the most common plant causes of poisoning for pets in the U.S. When people say "tree-like" I always wonder if it may be a sego "palm" which is a highly poisonous plants that also should not be in home with small children who don't yet have sense as well as becoming easily deadly for pets:
