mysterious creatures
Hello, all.
Could anyone help me understand the reference in the following phrase:
_Kids are in short supply around here,” she said. “Unless we’re talking the kind with floppy ears and an ivy fetish."_
I honestly have no idea what creatures - magical or real-life - are implied here. Floppy ears might hint at bunnies or, I don't know, elves. But ivy?
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

A kid can also mean a baby goat. I don't know about ivy, because I didn't have any ivy when I had goats, but I know goats love honeysuckle, as well as the bark of silk trees.
