A friend in Cali sent them to me. You can order them from Jeff Gee in AZ as well. http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=28&de=410489 His about the same size as these, maybe a bit smaller. He offers two options for ordering. The largest being 40lbs for $75 shipped. I did buy some from him at the Chicago NARBC show a few months back and they were very nice and lasted quite a long time in the crisper of my fridge.

I feed it about once a week. Most tortoises like it and will eat it. They are high in beta carotene, iron, some B vitamins, and are good sources of both vitamin C and calcium. For the smaller torts I grate it on a food grater and for the bigger torts I cut it up in chunks. Just a few pieces mixed in with their regular foods.

My tort loves the cactus. I think she's an addict.
