anyone feed cactus with the spines on it i see it all the time at food store, i think my leopards ate this once or twice yrs. ago.
Although cacti are native to the Americas, cacti, especially opuntias of the nopales type, have been spread and naturalized around the world. So apparently they are a favored part of the diet of wild radiated tortoises in Madagascar for example.Wild ones do it every day. Well not sulcatas, since there is no native cactus in Africa, but the new world ones do. I does not seem to hurt them, but I'm still afraid to risk it with my tortoises. I only feed de-spined or spineless.
