Has anyone ever steamed then frozen pumpkin chunks? I do that with zucchini for my bn's. I bought a small pie pumpkin to try it out.

 

[Big-B]

We just rinse the chunks and put em in. My Rhino loves pumpkin rind.:yes:

think I would give pumpkin raw, might go too soft and disintegrate if cooked.

while we're on the subject of pumpkin... does it matter what type it is?
I haven't fed any to my plecs yet. We have been buying butternut pumpkin lately.
What's the nutritional value?

 

[Doodles]

Butternut pumpkin? is that the same as butternut squash?

 

[Breamlegend]

Butternut pumpkin? is that the same as butternut squash?

I think so.

 

[Doodles]

yup thats its:yes:

Mine have butternut squash and quite like it, its fairly hard so may have to blanch it a little. If i remember rightly it is fairly nutritious:yes:

 

[C8lyn]

Thanks! I'll get some to them in the next couple of days to see how they like it

 

[Breamlegend]

Dont feed too much as it can foul the water. Thats why I prefer butternut as it is harder. Not easy to cut thinly, you need a sharp knife. On a side note it tends to make albino's cats get a nicer colour and my peckoltia's also like it.

 

[C8lyn]

Yeah I've heard that it gives them more colour. She's quite yellow as she is so he should look awesome after the pumpkin. Lol
