Here are my 2 girls eating cactus, the one looking into the camera is a real character. These guys have not been real crazy about cactus but that seems to be changing. Thats all I gave them today for breakfast, so its that or nothing. The sun will be out today so they will be going out for some sun and weeds

Hahaha! What a funny little face. Your tortoise on the right has the cutest face in that shot. Both are beauties! I cut up my cactus/nopales in small pieces with scissors and it seemed to get my two little Greeks to eat it. When I first tried to feed it to them they snubbed it and made a u-turn. Now they do like it and because it is wet and sticky, I can sneak in some Grassland, too, which they also would not eat. The maneuvers we have to do for our little charges, oy! : )

My radiata also doesn't seem to like cactus pad. Sometime he will take a nib, but usually he prefers to go grazing.

Nice shots, they're looking really good.

I love the half black head on radiateds. Makes them look so cool.

I think if I cut the cactus in small pcs. and mixed it with mazuri they would eat it for sure. I give them Mazuri about once a week or 10 days

Mine prefer to graze and I would prefer for them to do that as well. If I know its going to be warm outside I wont feed them so the will go on the hunt and graze
