Mine like fruit. Pretty high in simple carbs though, so go easy on it.

Watermelon, apple cores, raisins, other dried fruit. Also pumpkin and other winter squashes.

Do you remove the seeds from the apple cores?

Do you remove the seeds from the apple cores?

I personally don't bother most of the time. If it's the cyanide you worry about, they'd need to eat a lot of the seeds to feel any ill effects. Wild birds eat apple seeds all the time, if they have access.

I don't. Agree with TOMTE above. If they were pastured in an apple orchard and eating falling fruit, they would be eating seeds, and probably a lot more than from one apple chopped up in fourths or sixths.

Mine love boiled rice and spaghetti too as a treat.
