Amount of opuntia

[Laurie]

I now have so many opuntia pads growing . I've been giving them to my three Russians twice a week. Can I feed this more frequently? Should I be giving it daily?

Thanks!

Well, I can't believe no one knows the answer to this, I'll just pm one of the fantastic members I've met here, thanks anyway...

Sometimes it takes more than a day for a response.

Yes you can but I'd give more variety.

Lol, I realize that I thought it was a pretty simple question though, was surprised to not see an answer! Maybe it wasn't as simple of a question as I thought..

No worries but yes it's okay to feed maybe an extra day but not too much

id feed as much as they can eat, as long as their poop isnt getting runny from it and your still giving them other things.

Opuntia is the perfect tortoise food. You can feed it everyday. And if they eat it everyday, then it eliminates the need to supplement, as the calciumhosphorous ratio is perfect...not to mention it provides the high fiber they need

That's the information I was looking for! Thanks I guess I could've worded my question a little more straight forward
