Hey guys,
I live in SoCal and there is a lot of red and green cactus fruit available right now. I have redfoots and they eat cactus regularly. However I haven't heard much about the fruit! Also there are seeds inside. Would it be better to separate fruit, from the seeds, in case of stomach becoming impacted? They seem to love it!
Thanks

I do not remove seeds. If your feeding a hatchling you can remove them. Anything bigger the seeds should be fine. They are pretty small

I discovered that if I don't allow my YF tortoises to have fruit containing seeds, they will eat small stones.
