Raw vs Roasted Sunflower Seeds

Postby Wayne361 » Tue Jun 12, 2012 11:37 am

For training purposes my :senegal: LOVES sunflower seeds in the shell. Question, does anyone roast their own? Also has anyone fed them raw? I recently found a local source of raw/unsalted seed and am just curious.

Thanks,

Wayne

Why would I roast them =)?

I feed our two raw shelled sunflower seeds as training treats. Im thinking about changing to unshelled though, to speed up the eating process!
