| Update: Lima Beans are not toxic or bad as long as they are not raw and unprocessed. If you buy a frozen veggie mix that has lima beans in it, they are fine to feed.
The seeds and pits of fruits can be bad, but they probably would just eat around them, anyway. I do the better safe than sorry thing and remove pits and seeds from cherries, apples, peaches, plums, etc. As for cantaloupe, I remove the seeds because they are just messy...lol. There are many edible seeds, as well - like cucumber, sunflower, etc. | |
