Spineless Opuntia

[Big Ol Tortoise]

So I can't seem to get my hands on this stupid cactus. I was sooo close but the guy I was going to buy from never mentioned shipping...
So I'm coming to you guys for help.
I don't need a lot just 1 pound.

Thanks, Mike-

Mike you should be able to find it very easy, go to any ethnic grocery store in your town and they will have it.

I would be shocked if Mrs. Turtle eats it. None of my box turtles will eat it.

I'm wanting to plant it for the RF and I've heard the ones from Mexican stores aren't good to plant.

Gotcha, you should be able to find it all over Texas

I usually see ones with huge needles. I can't find ones like this

Look for some that is still firm and plant it.
I'll bet it grows.

A 6 ounce dried portion is equal to more than 3.5 pounds. Prepped, spineless, dried for months of storage, and cut to maintain long fiber and protein.

Use and feeding directions on the facebook page and here on TFO http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread...chips-lower-cost-better-functionality.149062/

Convenience, it's all about convenience.

Even 'spineless' has tiny prickles that can dig into your skin. Kapidolo Farms Cactus Chips do not.

Yes. Thanks. "Spinless" means "less spines".
Not always none. I wipe mine with a rag and wear gloves.
These grew from pads I purchased at a Cuban/Mexican food market

I buy mine from Carolina Pet Supply. The pads come without needles and my little Sulcata and little Leopard love little slivers that I give them.
I plant them indoors and just cut off what I need each day. The new growth does have a ton of tiny needles so needless to say I don't give those to my torts.
