What's eating my cactus?

would snails be what's eating my opuntia?

Not sure. Not too many snails here. We get rodents eating them, several insects like them, Javelinas, and even birds picking at them. Second pick looks like some kind of rodent might be nibbling, but the first one looks different. Snails and Rodents?
Raise it up off the ground for a while that should at least help determine if it is something that can relatively easily reach harder to reach places or not.

Thank you! Im pretty certain based on where it was in my yard, plus all our recent rain it was snails. Also we don't have problems with Javelinas or wild rats here in suburban Aus!
