Doesn't look like too much sun, that will usually cause the cactus to get a reddish hue. Is the pot in the photo the new pot or the old one? The soil looks like it has too much organic matter, it needs a lot more grit.

Overall, your cactus looks pretty severely dehydrated. What did the roots look like when you repotted? Sometimes a cactus can look thirsty like this even with regular watering because the roots have rotted and can no longer absorb any water.
Hey there. I had repotted her the same day, in succulent dirt I had bought at that time as well. She just got a little blonde all of the sudden but I'm sure it's fine. I got this app just after I got her and I've watered as I've been told. I did wait until the day she was due to drink to report and then a couple after before I watered. Roots seemed long and I was really careful but I'm a complete rookie. Maybe u can take a peek in a day or 2 if I shared another pic? What does more grit mean? I'm not biting my cactus
It's miracle grow succulents dirt by the way. I didn't add anything
I'm Chad by the way. Appreciate u
Have you fertilized it? Use only a fertilizer for cacti/succulents. It may need a boost!! ðŸŠī🏜ïļðŸŒĩðŸŒŧðŸĶ‹
