Hello cpuma,jeritta,and blue devil. To prepare them:
use a rag to protect your hand. use a knife not a potato peeler, cut both ends off. vertically slice the prickly skin .then just peel the skin off, it should be an easy peel because of the first cuts. try to chop as much of the seeds as possible. maybe put it in a blender, your dragon wont get sick with a couple seeds.wild dragons eat them seeds and all. you can mostly find the pears in hispanic markets. called tunas. :wave:
