Hi all ! I'm gonna start feeding mercury zucchini, I was just wondering if you guys feed it raw or if you guys cook it? And can I feed him this every day with his other veggies or should this be a once a week thing? Thank you !

I feed it raw and it can be fed daily.

Sweet potatoes, beans, and cabbages need to be cooked, while dark leafy greens should be cooked for maximum nutrition.

I feed it both raw and cooked. Not a favourite of Burt’s unless he’s stealing it from me!
@AussieBird what are your weird varieties? I like the ones we get from a local farm sometimes, they have gorgeous white stripes all over them.

By weird i am mainly talking about tromboncino, you can't get much weirder than that! The others i think are just some heritage kind.
