Cactus pear?

100%. Can't understand it at all

I still remove them.

Yes. I quarter them lengthwise and feed them out once a week or so when they are available, mixed in with greens. The tortoises love them. I just fed out a bunch of them to my tortoises today.

Seeds, skin and all the guts are fine, but I wold not recommend touching it with your bare hand unless you want to learn all about the fun associated with glochids. I handle mine with thick rubber gloves. Every one of those "eyes" is a source of human misery. The glochids and even the spines don't bother the tortoises one little bit.

Yes like rubbing up against a piece of old fiberglass that is starting to degrade....lots of lil tiny shards....OUCH!
