Hello, I'm new to this forum, I have 3 tortoises 1 Russian male and 2 female Red Foots. I enjoy every second i sit staring at them. I guess i joined to talk to more people with my interests. I have questions as well as answers, and have been keeping turtles and tortoises for about 8 years straight now. But i have alot of questions, for starters is it ok to feed a tortoise pumpkin? I have never realy thought of feeding them pumpkin until recently. there is pumpkin patches everywere and they are cheap. Anything would be mutch appriciated. thanks

To answer your question straight off, yes it is okay to feed them the pumpkin. Some feed it to them as is, which works on bigger tortoises. For smaller tortoises you may want to cook it (such as in the microwave) or grate it (the electric shredders are so much nicer then trying to do this by hand). Seeds, peel, and all can be used. You can freeze it too.
