This has probably been covered before but do the tiny spines on cactus pads hurt the mouth of tortoise's ?
When I cut a pad to feed I scrape the spines off with a knife, Just wondering if I miss a few if it will hurt him.
I know they sure hurt me when I get one in my finger!
My Sulcata is 11 years old. He LOVES cactus pads. They are like ice cream to him! lol
