Please can you help me identify this cactus that I have. I have a tortoise that loves prickly pear cactus' but I can't feed her this until I'm absolutely sure it is a prickly pear cactus.
Thankyou for your replies and advise. I've been trying to find other foods/plants to add some more variety to her diet ,but I am always frightened to give her something new without being certain it won't make her ill . You have all been very helpful. Thankyou

Your cactus is one of the Opuntias, and there are several species which can be used as tortoise food. There don't seem to be any that are harmful.
