Hi all, Iv been recently disgusted at a plant ordered from an actual tortoise company online. Will someone tell me if I’m wrong or right.
I ordered a prickly pear plant and it came looking nice and healthy, was so looking forward to feeding my tort a pad for something different but when I took one off I was in a very uncomfortable state for about 24 hours as I had a lot of tiny needles which I couldn’t see they so small, they were in my thumb and 3 fingers. So I obviously thought this is no good as tort food nor is it safe to put anywhere near her for decoration either.
so my question is …..
Is there some sort of preparation I have to do or should this plant have arrived fully edible ?
