Hi Daniel,
i tried to post a link before but it didnt come though.
Some of the seed that I use is common cattle forages and can be purchased at feed places for as little as 1.30 per pound. Uncommon and expensive tortoise foods like Dandelion, Chicory (Chicorium arvensis & intybus), Plantains, edible flowers and some of the neat wild collected stuff isn't easy to find. This link can help you to find some of the more unique better foods: www.store.hubsites.com
Depending on the species your trying to accommodate, I would look at my edible landscaping pages and some of the species oriented mixes to determine what's best for your animal in particular: www.turtlecafe.net
Mail me if you need help deciphering the Latin names, ok?
I don't know if Lee sells cactus in bulk but it is a supplier for Opuntia in the UK: http://members.tripod.co.uk/kernxotica/
take care,
tcc
