debs1018 Aug 12, 2004 01:49 PM

Does anyone here know how to serve a cactus pad to their igs. I bought one for Tiny and Buddy the Uro and I would like to give them sone. Do I cut it up or do I have to peel it first? Please let me know soon so I can give this to them. Thank you in advance.

Wow, no idea. I hope someone does post so I can find out as well! I'd think peel and cut up maybe? How do people eat it?

Use either a burns o matic propane torch or toss on a gas stove burner for a few seconds to burn off the prickers. Wash well. Cut in feeding appropriate sizes. Very healthy food choice.

Thanks. I did not have to burn the prickers off. The store had it already removed
