spaghetti squash

[rachael]

Yay or nay?

I feed other gourds but they usually get demolished in my house before the torts have a chance at them.. unfortunately Im stuffed and I have an extra spaghetti squash. Whats the verdict?

I believe as a varied diet it would be fine! I am not sure if you are familiar with http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/site/plants_19.asp
That's what I use!

I don't really know why not. However, I would chop it up, so the stringy parts don't get stuck half down the throat and the rest hanging out the mouth.
I checked out the tortoisetable site. It actually says to only feed leaves and flowers. Althought the actual squash is not poisonous. Also know that a lot of people feed the squash part. That kinda baffles me. Other then that, they did not say any were bad.

Im looking at it as more of a treat than I diet staple.

Seems like you have the right idea then!
