Hi everyone,
I picked up some "Nopales" from a local grocery store and was wondering if this are the same as prickly pear or cactus leafs? I asked the guy and he said it should be the same thing but wanted to double check with everyone on here before feeding to my beardie. Also, if it is okay to feed him, how do i cut it or feed him? I just got the cactus pads looking ones: http://www.marxfoods.com/images/Bulk-Cactus-Pads_CactusPads-1.jpg

I am trying various foods for him since he seems to be picky eater aka stubborn. He loves to eat but very picky. Mostly all he wants are dubias and nutrigrubs :lol: :roll:

Those should be fine. I haven't had access to those before so I haven't offered them but different types of cacti are supposedly quite a good option. I'd just chop them up into bite sizes and see how they go.

Good news. I cut a small piece from the pad and without the skin on it basically just the guts and goey part, he ate it right away :D I first gave him some cactus and collard greens and then after gave him some nutrigrubs. He is back to normal self now, thankfully.

I hand fed him the food so he must still like me. After, I hold my hand out and he jumped into my hand so i guess he is over being upset/ frightened.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
