If yo go on the tortoise table website www.thetortoisetable.org.uk you will find which cacti are edible for instance prickly pear is. That's all I know I have never fed cactus to my horsfield

Opuntia cactus (Pricky Pear) is edible, so is Xmas cactus in moderation. I think alot of succulents are edible but in small amounts and not often. www.thetortoisetable.org.uk has a few entries for it.
