Hello Benjamin,

    I think the only thing you might have to worry about is the animal's
waste. This can act like fertilizer and CP's don't like the stuff much.
(you can use 1/4 strength of whatever amount is recomended for
houseplants on *some* CP's, VFT isn't one of them)
Of course, if it has it's rest room somewhere other than on your plants,
I really can't see any harm.
