When carved pumpkins sit out too long,
they grow mold and bacteria that are toxic to wildlife.
Raccoons, squirrels, and opossums often eat the leftovers
and become sick with mold poisoning or digestive distress. 劣
To protect them:
Remove carved pumpkins after a few days
Compost or dispose of moldy ones safely
Offer only fresh scraps if feeding wildlife intentionally
A small cleanup can prevent unnecessary suffering.
