    Default pumpkin seed question

    Hey I am new here and I was wondering if I can feed squirrels raw pumpkin seeds or should I bake them?

    TY!
    Where do you buy chuck a nut squirrel mixture? I cannot seem to find it... I like to feed the "wild" squirrels but since I moved here all I can find is corn mixtures that are all corn with a hand full of sunflower seeds and like three peanuts but I researched it and found that its horrible for squirrels.

    I get a good mix at the feed store near me, you might look and see if there's one near you. also specialty stores for birds have other critters stuff too sometimes.

    Teddy is the only one of mine that likes pumpkin seeds. :/ but Meggie Mouse loves them.

    i am so much more than a body.

    every moment is an opportunity to begin recovery.

    today is tomorrow's history.,

    Don't worry about roasting the seeds - just cut the pumpkin in half and set it out for them - they'll eat the whole thing! At least, mine do!

    Thanks! As you can see by bites they took out around the mouth, they enjoy pumpkin carving too.
