Giving pumpkin

[Sandra]

Hi guys I just read a thread on here saying that pumpkin was ok to give to my hermanns.. Do I need to cook it or not and how much can they have? Any advice would be great

Only a little bit, it is a treat. How old is your hermanns? I cut mine into to small pieces and give it raw. No seeds if they are young and small, though you could grind up the seeds and feed that too. It's good to keep worm count/parasites down/away.

My boy is nearly 4 ... I'm sure he will love he's treat

I give my two chunks of raw pumpkin as a treat, they love it! I freeze the rest to be able to have some in the off season.

It can be cooked or fed raw. You can chunk it, dice it, shred it, or blend it. You can feed it fresh or thawed after freezing.
