So I know you've probably been asked this question countless times but how do I feed my 3 toed pumpkin. Just raw? Can she eat the guts? What do i do? I'd like for here to eat the seeds so anything helps.

Yep. Just raw. I shred it up, or offer little chunks of the the wall. The hard outer shell is good for their beaks. They can eat the seeds too, but usually don't eat them intentionally. I'm guessing you are aware that the seeds are a good natural de-wormer, since you said you'd like for her to eat them.

For littler ones, I will put a few seeds, and pumpkin in a blender and blend it up small so I don't have to worry about them getting a seed stuck in their throats.

eating seeds whole will serve no purpose they pass through the gut undigested but the rest of the pumpkin is good
