I believe it’s advised to wait for new growth after repotting because the plants can absorb fertilisers.

They’re really nice! Love me some house plants🥰

Yes not going to give her some now... taking ill wait a few months..

There evergreen so they could be part of her winter diet...

But still ot 100 percent sure they are OK for her to consume everyday or if it's only in moderation

Definitely double check on the website wellington posted, I believe any safe kind of succulents/cacti are to be fed in moderation, in excess they can cause diarrhoea

The succulents listed on the tortoise table website are safe, but dilurants, so they should only be given in small amounts.
