In the United States, javelina and deer will eat prickly pear cacti. Some insects and a few rodents as well as the desert tortoise may dine on cacti.
I do not know of any animals that eat cacti, on account of their spines, however, some bats, bees, and probably butterflies eat cactus nectar, and various animals may eat their fruit. Humans, however, do eat edible cacti, because they can cut off the spines. An example of an edible cacti is the prickly pear cactus.

Deer and rabbits eat the cactus flowerbuds...
