I was wonder how I am suppose to feed cactus to my 6 months old leopard tortoise. I wanted to add it to his outdoor enclosure and was wondering is it ok to do that, would the needles on the cactus harm him in any way?
The ones here have needle sharp precession & are really actually tiny knives trying to kill us I remember once when they hurt my fingers, stomach, and tongue (I tried to remove on from my finger with my teeth & ended up getting it on my tongue ) I hope I find spineless one!We feed them the spineless varieties, so the spines are not really an issue.
If you plant them in the enclosure they will eventually be eaten.
I prefer to feed whole pads to my torties rather than chop them up. For babies I use tiny little new pads that are very tender and spineless.

Do this ONLY with adult supervision, we DO NOT want to be sued because some kid wanted to feed the tortoise cactus, thank youYou can burn off the spines with the stove or some fire
I've seen the elephant ear prickly pear cactus in some of your pics. How do your torts like the fruit from them?
