Artistic Solutions12-Oz Fresh Tortoise Turtle Iguana Reptile Super Food Spineless Opuntia Prickly Pear Cactus

I've purchased from this seller for a long time now, and it's my favorite place to buy prickly pear cactus for my tortoises. They are a nice size, and also a nice thickness. I've purchased from other companies before that send fatter but smaller pads, but they are a lot harder and my torties don't like them much. They always love this cactus, and eat it all. I like having something else that's good for them so they have a variety and it's also a superfood for them and very good for them. When I receive them they are almost always cleaned and have the thorns removed which is very very nice and much appreciated.

I was excited for these to come in for my bearded dragons because they are rich in calcium. But to open them up to prepare for my beardies to eat and see them black and rotted, made me question if I wanted to get it replaced with fresh ones or if I should just get a full refund. Either way it’s goin to be a unnecessary hassle, for the simple fact that in order to do either one of those options, I have to print label and send them back before I get my money back and or / my replacement for them, when really they should be tossed in the trash!

My Bearded Dragon absolutely devoured it. I cut it up into tiny pieces for him. And within half an hour, he was zooming around his tank. He was in a great mood after eating it. It arrived perfectly packaged. You can place the rest in the fridge for later use for smaller reptiles.

They were shipped fast. One was very thick heavy. The other very thin made me think dried out. But, planted to see if it will grow. For future tortoise food.

I ordered 2 sets of these for my Herman's Tortoise & my Beardie & they love them. I split 1 pad between them and wanted to see if they actually liked them before planting the others. I planted them in a mix of organic potting soil (make sure soil is all natural if feeding them off to animals--don't buy soil with fertilizer or any of the other crap they add to other potting soil.) & a little sand & I'm not kidding-they had started rooting within a week & had a strong root system within another week to week 1/2. I would gently try to wiggle them a little in their pot to make sure they were rooting & they hardly budged. Use newspaper folded to hold the pads when planting, or you'll get hands full of the teeny spines. I made the mistake of touching them with bare hands...took a couple of days for them to work their way out, so be careful!! Not really painful; more irritating because they're hard to get out. Very good value for these & my reptiles just love them! 😀 Will order again so I can have a whole garden for my reptiles.

The product is sufficient. However, I've ordered this before from a different company and they wrapped it in wet toweling and put it in sealed plastic, it was still damp when I opened it which was good. But this order came in only plain paper packaging and it was delivered and left in front of my door. I live in an apartment in Florida. The delivery was not announced and I didn't see it until I left for work the next morning so it stayed out all night in the heat unprotected. I don't think it will last as long as the other one I ordered from a different company. However, the price was good.

I bought these for growing cactus for my tortoise. They arrived in a timely manner but they were shipped in a plastic bag. The bag was sweaty with condensation. When I opened it there was visible green mold on the bottoms. They are cactus and don’t need to be shipped in plastic. Also, if laid out for a few days, they callous over. These might not have had the time to dry properly. Fresh! I’d like to see them shipped in paper instead. I had to cut off the mold areas so it didn’t spread up the pad. I don’t think they will grow. There was one that might be able to produce roots... I’m still trying with all four. I’ve set them out to dry and will update if any grow roots.

My tortoise loved this. When this arrived it was nice and fresh, with good sized pads.
