Can bunnies be given whole pumpkins?

[Spring]

Hi there! Tis the season!

I was thinking of buying a whole pumpkin to give to the buns for something to chew and munch, and since they love pumpkin.. was wondering if giving them a whole pumpkin is safe? (Skin, stem, know the flesh is safe.. and I'd be eating the seeds!) Do I have to regulate how much they eat? Or can I just give them the hollowedout pumpkin to destroy?

Thanks!

Good question !!

and I have no clue except that they shouldn't be allowed an unlimited amount of it any more than when you would introduce any new food.

All I could find small amounts are OK

tonyshuman, your bunnies look like they really enjoy, so cute.

oh, those aren't my guys. I stole it from www.lolbunnies.com . my guys do like pumpkin though, but have only tried the cooked variety.
