I need to repot my cactus, and its a hedgehog of a thing xD

I saw some on telly repot a cactus by wrapping it in newspaper and then using that to handle it. Would that work for yours?

Yes, I was about to suggest wrapping the cactus in newspaper but, if you want sturdy gloves,Gold Leaf make some beauties.

Is it a bunny ears? Wrap in newspaper (or kitchen towel + newspaper for extra grip), and leather rigger gloves.

Gold Leaf Tough Touch.

Kent & Stowe leather gauntlets.

I've cleared huge areas of brambles wearing these, not a thorn got through.

its a 'Rose Pincushion' so mammillaria zeilmanniana i think is the proper name for it!
