I know this is a dumb question but I'd feel bad if something went wrong because I didn't ask... is it ok to grow cactus where my sulcata will be roaming? I checked and the cactus that I'm going to plant is safe for tortoises to eat (Cereus Peruvianus), but I know Sulcatas can be persistent about...
