This should be must in your garden if you have a permit, and own a desert tortoise/s. To the best of my knowledge Opuntia is also great for the Sulcata tortoise, and probably more tortoise varieties. I own both Sulcata and California desert tortoises and purchased an Opuntia (prickly pear) upon purchasing my first after reading it’s value. Keep your pets happy and healthy. Also replicate
their habitat as close as possible.
