Hello, I came back from the Expo with cut up prickly pear cactus, so I was wondering what other kind of cacti they could eat since it is what they eat in the wild.

I know that the prickly pear cactus pads (nopales) and the prickly pear fruit (tunas) you find in some Mexican markets are OK for tortoises to eat. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's OK for beardies but it probably does mean it's non-toxic. I know they're pretty nutrient rich and good fiber...
