Default can my horsefield eat cactus flowers?

She loves the cactus pads but wondered if she can also eat the flowers as they have just started to come out everywhere here.
Anyone know??

Thanks
Selina.

She seems to like them as thought they're part of the cactus so they should be Ok. But would like to know for sure from someone with more experience..
Thanks.

Never given them before but I believe you can give them the rounded ones, I don't know the name of them, but I'm sure someone on here can help you more.

Thanks but I don't know what you mean by "the rounded ones.."
The ones that I mean are from the optunia cactus(prickly pear) it has an orange flower, they come from the fruit.

Anyone?
