Optunia fruit

So can a Leo yearling eat optunia fruit? Everything I read on here says no fruit which I have followed religiously but they had some at the farmers market where I get his optunia pads. Don't wanna harm my lil guy. But the fruit is listed on some of the approved lists. Thanks

Hello
I have leopards and if I give them whole fruit they won't eat it but if I cut it in half so they can see the red they can't get enough .

A desert tortoise, coming upon an opuntia in fruit in the desert, will sit there and eat to his heart's content. However, this is not a daily occurrance. The cacti only fruit once a year. So eating the fruit occasionally is fine, just not every day.

Thanks. I'll feed very sparingly and only in season. He eats a varied diet already. I like to keep his taste buds guessing. Man he loves those cactus pads though!!!!
