Is this ok for my yearling tortoise to eat.

These are a few cacti growing wild near my house. The first 3 are of a cactus that I don't know anything about but it looks like a cactus pad so it might be ok. The second plant is also wild I think it is aloe but there are different types and i want to know if is ok to feed him that. The last one is also an aloe plant but it looks much different and it has a long stem it is in a pot.

If any of these are ok to give him could you tell me how to prepare them.

They look fine, most cactus I know of is ok, just depends on how spiny they are, and your tortoise's appetite.

the second to last picture is aloe vera, just drop the peice in and they should eat them no problem.

You can burn them off with a lighter.

I hold mine with tongs over the stove, they sizzle right off. Then I rinse them really good with water and puree them to a pulp and the crew goes nuts over it.
