feeding sqaush

[Nikki05]

I bought some acorn and butternut squash for my beardies a few days ago. I can't wait to give them something new!

however, I don't really know how to prepare it fro them. :/

Raw or cooked? cubed? I really don't have any idea!

advice please?

Mustashio LOVES butternut squash, but didn't care for acorn. Must be the bright orange color!! I usually just take a chunk of raw butternut squash (without the peel) and grate it up for him with a cheese grater. I keep it in a little tupperware container in the fridge and sprinkle some on his greens daily. Squash is a great staple! If you grate up a palm sized block that usually keeps in the fridge for about a week or so. I usually buy one medium sized squash and then cut off chunks and peel them as I need them. One squash usually lasts me about a month. Tashi is very partial to his butternut squash and will even dig around all the other greens to get at the orange goodies! Silly dragon!

Here's an older picture of his "vegi frenzy"!

I also use a cheese grater and mine absolutely loves summer and butter nut squash.
