I was wondering if anyone knows how long you can keep puree'd cactus in the fridge?
They gobble it down when it's puree'd. Yummy!!!

Shelf life in cooler temps should be the same as any vegy.

With my guys....stuff does not stay/survive any longer than 3 days TOPS....LOL
A few days should not be an issue. I do the puree every now and then...

I have done that as well, and then cut the frozen block into squares. I used it up within a week...
Thanks Dmarcus!! I will try it, pureeing cactus every few days is taking up TONS of time!!

I usually do, too, but have, in the past, took a cheese grater to a cactus pad...very messy, but the torts loved it.
You might mix puréed cactus w/ dried weeds/veggies or "kibbled" tortoise food, like Mazuri or Red Sticks. Let it all sit for about a half-hour, until the dried stuff and/or chow is softened enough.
Also, you can mix powdered calcium and/or vitamins into it.
