Prickly pear fruit vs pads ( Opuntia cactus )

Postby RoflOnMyWaffle » Thu Jun 22, 2017 9:46 am

Hi guys, I saw on the care sheet that I can feed my lil guy Opuntia, I have quite a big one in my room but it has no fruit on it.
Am I being stupid or can I feed him pads, once I have cleaned all the thorns off, and triple checked it, then sliced into smaller bits like I would normally feed him?
Is it me being silly or is this only supposed to be used as a treat?
I dont wan't to feed it to him if it's meant to be only the fruit, similarly I don't want it to be a common occurrence if its a treat.

My little guy is around a month old if that makes a difference
