What are these?!

Hi, I'm a bit new to this type of cacti and was just wondering what these pink 'balls' (not sure if that is the right word πŸ˜‚) are.

If someone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you
Jemima 😁

It’s buds mam
@Lotuspalmboy thank you 😁
Looks like flower buds! Post pics when they open up πŸ‘
@MariansOasis Will do! Thank you :)
Hi @VenerableFern!
I actually think those looks like fruits. Meaning it has already flowered and been pollinated (see the brown tips that are the spent flowers?).

So maybe you will be able to sow your own baby-cacti soonπŸ€—
Wait for them to dry out and fall off, then you can open them and gather the seeds for sowing!
