When feeding opuntia to leopards or sulcatas do you guys burn off the glochids? I've been growing opuntia for awhile now and use a torch to burn off the glochids before cutting off a cladode to feed to the tortoises. I'm asking this question because the cactus has pretty much taken over the area it has been growing. I would like to dig up most of the opuntia and relocate it in the tortoise enclosure but not if those glochids will hurt the tortoise. They don't feel good in my fingers. I wasn't sure if it would bother the tortoise. Thank you
