Frankie is fabulous....leafy greens are a great thing--with a treat from time to time....also, if you go to the search section and type in your species of tort with the word care you will get lots of good threads to go over...

He's a hungry hungry Hermans! He looks great!

As long as you're feeding him/her quality foods (dark green veggies, weeds, chopped cactus), it's unlikely you get him/her too fat...he/she'll just grow faster. 7 grams in 4 weeks is just fine!

Is it legal for you to receive cactus from America? If so, for the cost of postage, I'd be happy to send you some pads you can plant in pots...they are super-easy to grow!

These are just the ones I'll be taking to North Carolina in April, each started from a single pad...the plants growing out in my pastures are much bigger than these!

Hi Frankie, I'm from the uk too, you can order optunia cactus pads online in the uk, watch out for the little hairy spines though, they get stuck everywhere!!
