This might be a stupid question since it seems like this is a fruit and I know fruits aren't good for leopards. I thought these were vegetables but it's a fruit?
Its the sugary fruits like strawberry for example, that are bad for non-fruit eating species. Squash is fine as part of a varied diet.This might be a stupid question since it seems like this is a fruit and I know fruits aren't good for leopards. I thought these were vegetables but it's a fruit?
Yes, it’s a fruit. If it has seeds (melon, squash, berries, papaya, cucumber) it is a fruit. Some are lower in sugar than others and zucchini is one of them. I don’t feed much of it but my tortoise gets winter and summer squash and cucumber on occasion. Some experienced people.breeders feed more; it’s got plenty of nutrients. Just keep things varied, as mentioned above.
I am hoping that munching on whole zucchini and carrots will even out Knobby's broken off bottom jaw...I always grate up a zucchini when I make a new batch of baby tortoise food.

You hate plants...and yet you know a word like courgettes...just sayinMy russian tort and labrador get a treat of zucchini on sundays during the summer. Our plants usually have a 4 or 5 courgettes a week ready for harvest. We eat 'em, and whatever is left on Sunday we chop up for the dogs and tort and mix with their foods.

I hate the growing and farming of them. I eat them willingly. Show's my disdain for their existence. "ARG! You nasty squash! I eat thee, and send you to the depths of veggie hell!"You hate plants...and yet you know a word like courgettes...just sayin
