Cactus- is this one ok?

[Legmaker72]

These cactus grow here in Florida and are huge. No spines. Not sure what species this is. Just want to see if this is safe to feed my Margi?
Thanks !

That's Opuntia cactus. My torts love it

Called Spinelless Opuntia. I cut up mine in AZ and the new pads are the best. If you get fruit they like these also. Mine has not gotten fruit so far so I purchase at a Mexican geared grocery named Food City, and Rancho Market to get pads and cactus fruit for my guy. Check out what you have available there in Fla.!

Yep. That is good stuff.
