HarrisonFamily Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 When I have thrown in parts of a squash before they eat the seeds and fleshy bits but leave the skin - try them and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I used to scoop out the seeds and 'spaghetti' before roasting the squash and the bantams loved the 'middles'. I used to put the squash innards in the run in the morning and then remove anything they'd not eaten when I went to shut them in so as not to attract rats etc overnight.

Girly Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Mine won’t eat butternut squash. I’ve tried the innards, the ‘spaghetti’ the peel, big chunks, little chunks, even a whole one cut in half lengthwise. But they love courgettes, especially ones that look like marrows! And cucumber and melon. But not butternut! WHY? WHY?WHY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
