They sure can people feed them to protect against parasites - aparently its the seeds that protect them ..not sure if it works though but they can eat the whole inside 
i'd just cut it in half and see what they want to eat

Oh brilliant! Thankyou
... I was planning on making it into a 'snack ball' type thing .. and cutting holes and sticking pieces of apple/carrot ect to keep her occupied in the stable .. Just though it might last a bit longer than when i made her a 'skewer' which was made from apple, carrot and swede which i hung from her stale.. lasted a whole 5 mins.. if that.. so didnt really work!Hairy Old Cob
