Beginner Gardening: cactus seedlings, 0 by emptyeyes

different situation now, my hubby went to Wal-Marts and got me one of those very small cacti, they are in a very small pot and if I lift it up and look I can see the roots. I was wondering if I should repot it, the pots I have are somewhat larger than the one that it is in, but I can\'t see the soil that it is in. The cacti are over the edge and forget the part of sticking my finger in the soil, I already got pricked when I took the fake flower off that was glued on to the top. Those little spines hurt! I have sand and potting soil, could I mix those two together? I will show you a picture and maybe you can tell me exactly what kind of cactus this is, and if I can repot it.
