acorn squash prep troubles

[Spindown]

I decided to try a new kind of squash for variety, but am having difficulty prepping it. Its acorn squash. Cant get the skin off!

What is the best way to prep it for a bluey?
thanks!

oh and is it safe cooked?

I usually cook mine (since I eat some of it), but actually today I quartered it, then cut chunks of the flesh inside out and pureed them in a small food processor and added to other veggies/dogfood. Seemed to work well.

I bake mine cause I eat some too. Cut in half, scoop out seeds and place pieces in a little water in a baking dish cut side down.

Preheat oven at 350F. Cook for 45 minutes or so depending on the size.

Let cool and feed. My guys love it.

I always feed raw, just cut into chunks and put in a food processor. But I think you can feed cooked too. To get the skin off you can use a vegetable peeler.

I cut mine in for cook 3 parts for the family and cut the other part into small pieces . I don't puree or cook . They seem to love it . I did the same with pumpkin . No cooking no puree .
