Time to quash some inquiries about squash

[Trouble119]

I'm really confused about how to prepare butternut squash for my beardies. I've cooked it before, but they just weren't interested in it. Lately, I've heard it's because it's supposed to be served raw.

Is this accurate? Should I just like... cube or shred it for them instead of baking it?

I serve it fresh/raw and use a veggie peeler skin it then to shred the flesh into curly slices. A cheese grater works too. Or a sharp knife.

I do a variety of shapes - little wedges always go down well, as they offer easy-to-grab shapes, and crunchy texture. Vegetable peeler peeled stripes are also popular.
