Yes pumpkin is a good food for torts. Not as a main diet though, more as a treat. If you grind the skin, seeds and meat of the pumpkin into a mush, and feed it, it will also act as a natural dewormer.

They can have the seeds kinda puréed in with the other stuff.

The seeds and skin is what deworms. You do have to purée them with the rest of the pumpkin.

My mini food processor never really could break down the seeds too much. Not really sure how small the seed chunks need to be for them not to be too big.
