I woke up this morning to little Icky being out of her cage causing trouble. I hadn't properly secured her cage it turns out, and she found a pot with macadamia leaves. In it were two macadamia branches that were propagating. Are macadamia LEAVES toxic to squirrels? Is there anything to be done?
(Also I posted this in the non life threatening forum but was u sure how to delete it.) Thank for any advice as I don't know if her life is in danger from this.

All I can find is that DOGS specifically are sensitive to the NUTS. I can't find anything indicating issues with the leaves. Don't let her have anymore, and do what you can to push fluids - water or water with a pinch of sugar to make it more interesting to her to dilute what she has consumed.

Okay, so far that's all I could find as well, I just wasn't sure if anybody here knew something off the top of their heads. I find the general public know a lot more about cats and dogs than they do about squirrels =p.
I had to run to work, so I'll have to check on her when I get home around 4-ish.
