I found cactus pear locally and excitedly bought a few of them since beardies are supposed to love it. I was looking through some older threads on this website for how to prepare it for beardies, and came across a thread asking if it was poisonous because their dragon didnt like it at all and it looked different. The ones I got from the store look exactly like the red/green ones in this thread (viewtopic.php?f=18&t=192623).
Someone responded saying which genus of cactus the fruit should be from, but how can I tell when I just have the fruit? Has anyone bought prickly pear like this before and am I just overthinking? Lol
I'd assume a grocery store wouldn't sell a non-edible cactus pear, but just because humans can eat it doesn't specify for beardies.
I tried googling it a bit this morning, it listed some other types of cactus and succulents though. Nothing specific to cactus pears. I just wanted to get an idea due to that thread I came across. I'm at work right now but I will be looking into it more when I am home.
