Best Answer

Most animals avoid ferns because the mature fronds are poisonous. Humans and most farm animals like cattle, horses, pigs, etc. will get sick if they eat mature fern fronds. White-tailed deer, rabbits, and European wood mice are a few animals that can eat ferns. They usually eat the soft new shoots (called "fiddleheads") that aren't poisonous yet. Humans also eat fern fiddleheads in some parts of the world, usually after cooking them.
