Are these ok for Sahara to eat?

I'm not sure what this plant is but she likes to eat it and it is all over my yard. Is it safe?

I'm no plant expert, so verify this, but that looks an awful lot like convolvulus to me. Bindweed. Its listed as toxic in most places. Some insect larvae eat it, but those insects are then toxic for predators to eat. It pops up in one of my enclosures every spring and I pull it all out by the root ASAP. Haven't seen it for the last couple of years. My tortoises never tried to eat it, but they always had lots of other things to eat instead.

Thanks Tom. She was super interested so I wasn't sure what to do.

Like Tom, I'm no plant expert myself but it reminds me of something from the morning-glory family. Just because of that, I'd avoid it.

Morning glory = convolvulus = Bindweed
