Those are looking fantastic - really great job!
IMO, I would definitely repot. When they get that crowded, their bases elongate and/or moisture is captured at the bases increasing the chances for rot. I find small seedlings are extremely tough and don't mind roots being disturbed at all.

Haven't heard from them since. Last time I ordered from them I had order number 76, and got the 'order is prepared' mail just before X-mas.

I am still waiting for seeds from Succseed that was sent in the post late November. I have given up on that, though...

• Then Cactus Hobby Brno in the Czech Republic updated its list in October. See: http://cactus-hobby.eu/.

Anyone receive anything yet from this place?
I know they are notoriously slow-ish, but mine is going on 3 months, so just curious if he is moving through orders yet at all.

How big of pieces are you looking for? I can make cuttings from mine for you.
Send me a PM if interested.

Wow! Are those hairy ones the Neodawsonia??
They are gorgeous!!
