Beginner cacti grower. Got this plant a few months ago, it was already 2 years old I think? I’m looking to add more unique rare/miniature plants if anyone would like to recommend.

Rats devoured mine 🥲
Mammillaria herrerae, mammillaria leuthyi
To keep this plant miniature/compact, consider adding limestone to the soil. They evolved growing in limestone which raises the soil pH and inhibits excess growth.
Also Blossfeldia liliputana is as miniature as cactuses come so thats a good shout for what’s next.
She gone be real tired after making babies
Miniatures are my favorite. There are several tiny Mammillaria. See also Turbinicarpus (and Kadenicarpus and Rapicactus), Epithelantha, Aztekium, Pelecyphora, and others…
