I’ve been trying new things, the acorn, butternut, and (? the weird green one ) squash. I read somewhere they like the seeds? Are they unhealthy or healthy treats?

Do you just gut them out and rinse/dry?
How long do they keep?

Or not with the trouble and toss out?

VERY high in phosphorus and low in calcium = MBD. Most seeds are that way (except sesame seeds!)

The wilds seem to like them well enough. I don't eat squash that often so it is just an occasional treat. I wouldn't give more than a couple to a captive squirrel.
