I finally bought prickly pear from a local store, but I have no idea how much I can feed my tort. "She" is a 9mo Russian if that helps any! As if right now she has one pad in there. Can I feed it to her once a week? 3 times a week? Just keep a pad in there all the time with her other food?

I use fresh or rehydrated-from dry opuntia 3 to 5 times a week in a mixed salad. I rarely offer it as a pad or large pieces as a stand alone food item, for no particular thought out reason, I just include in a mixed salad.
