what kind of cactus to feed tortoise
Planting Prickly Pear Pads for Tortoises. The preferred species is a spineless cactus, Opuntiaficus-indica, grown commercially for pads and fruit. Tortoises eat pads, flowers, and fruit. New plants can be started by planting pads. Preferably, use mature pads larger than your hand and at least 1/4â³ to 1/2â³ thick. The larger the pad the more energy is stored and the quicker it will produce new pads for feeding.
