In a recent video, a variety of rescued farm animals can be seen feasting on pumpkins. Viewers can watch pigs, goats, ducks, sheep, chickens, and cows chow down on these delectable treats. Hilariously, the video is set to music from a classic 90s band, the Smashing Pumpkins. 

Pumpkin is a delicious and healthy snack for farm animals and companion animals alike. It is full of vitamins and fiber. However, it can cause upset stomachs so it should only be given in small amounts.

The delightful video quickly racked up many comments from viewers. Many of them shared how their animal companions loved pumpkin too! “My parrots love pumpkins too!” said the user loveshabbyroses.
