    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Squash?

I **LOVE** Spring here in Texas! I have just finished ordering veggie and wildflower seeds, and have been clearing out and trimming back my garden the last few days, and am going to start my pepper and tomato seedlings as soon as I receive my seeds (the seedlings don't get set out until mid-March but I start my wildflowers right away outside).

My question is about beardies and squash. I am growing several different kinds of summer squash this year and when the plants get going, there is a LOT of squash, especially the zucchini plants.

Is it OK to chop up zucchini and other squash and feed it to my beardies? Can they eat it raw or should I steam it first?
 
i dont garden but i feed our beardies zuchini and yellow squash. i do not see any problems with other kinds either. just makes sure to add some greens maybe some carrot . it is fine raw just make sure and wash it well
 
Yeah my beardies love their squash. They should like the squash and zuchini, but like robin said keep them clean and throw in some greens.
 
Butternut, acorn, summer and yellow squash are all good for them, they eat it best if you grate it raw or put in one of those $10-$15 mini food processors.

While planting, throw out a few Sweet potatoe and pumpkin seeds too, beardies love raw grated pumpkin and sweet potatoe...and it is a good nautral anti-parasitic for them.

But I agrees with the others, rich greens are their main staple
