Succulents and cacti

[tkoehle]

Hey I have been adding Christmas cactus flowers to my leopard tortoise diet. I was just wondering if there was any succulent or cacti I should stay away from. Or, if there is any that are okay for them to eat.

Anything in the Euphorbia family is toxic. Pinch it and if it bleeds white sap, it's toxic.

Okay thanks

Yvonne is right about Euphorbia but Christmas cactus is okay in moderation because it is in a different family ... here is a link to look at. A good website to refer to, besides asking fellow keepers here. : )
