If it is an adult Russian you can just put one of them in the enclosure. how big are they? you don't necessarily have to cut it up. I think you can just put one of them in some dirt and it will start growing.

It will grow if planted. I feed a whole pad to my large leopards and cut it up in small pieces for my baby leopards.

Sounds like an adult. I cut mine into slices. Takes her a while to eat a whole one.

If there are no spines then you don't have to worry about the bumps. You don't have to cut it up in slices, but you can.they can terret apart pretty easily. How big are the pads? 3 inches 12 inches?

You can put it wherever you want. Just hold it if you want to. Almost guaranteed he is going to be very excited to devour it no matter how you serve it. I ofen cut long slices and hand feed cause it is fun. Or just throw it in there.
