I occasionally feed squash and pumpkin to my tortoises, but the leaves and vines are better for them.

Pumpkin seeds are a natural anthelminthic and vermicide (wormer). I use pumpkins for decorative purposes in the fall and when finished feed it to the turtles. The number of seeds necessary has not been established for either humans or tortoises.

Pumkin is a big favorite with my torts. I cut one up and freeze chuncks to thaw out all year.
