Is it okay to give raw, uncooked butternut squash seeds to a grey squirrel?

She peels the seed and eats the inner part.

Yes, but limit the amount. Seeds, like nuts, are high in phosphorous and low in calcium.

Good to know. The inner part of the seed can't weigh much, given the amount that is left over, the outer husk.
