There are a few pests that attack cactus. I suppose in a way woolly aphids and mealy bugs could sort of look like hairs. Get a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers, Pull one of the hairs off the plant and examine it. If it is an aphid or a mealy bug you will be able to tell under the magnifying glass. We've had cactus similar to this at the nursery and they were a little hairy. So, I really don't think you have to worry. Remember let you cactus dry before you water it. Keep me posted. Sammy,
