Hi could anyone please identify two of these cacti for me, the one on the left with the red spikes, and the smaller one to the front with the yellow spikes.
I purchased them from Homebase a couple of weeks ago as I couldn't resist the shape of the arms on the left one, it looks almost like a cartoon cactus! I would be interested to know the species of them as i'm slowly trying to identify my collection and learn how to best care for them, many thanks.
Also, all my cacti are currently placed on my windowsill, where they get good sunlight (not too directly), but would it be best to move them to somewhere more internal in the colder months, as i still like to have my windows open often even in winter to let some fresh air in?
Cacti identification please!

The one to the left is not a cactus, it's an Euphorbia enopla, the one to the right might be Mammillaria marksiana

The small golden I've seen before and I believe its a parodia but not a 100% on which species.

It looks very much like a Parodia chrysacanthion.
Latin is a dead language thank goodness.
