No. They're varieties of Euonymus and are toxic to tortoises. A very good website called "The Tortoise Table" has an extremely wide-ranging, comprehensive guide to plants which are both suitable and unsuitable, including those you should give but only sparingly.

So the ones pictured are okay?

Ah! Thankyou both very much. I shall keep their pen where it is. They are very fussy and the wild plants they like are grass, mint and dandelions.

Just to reassure everyone I have moved Jacky and Daisy's pen and I always clear it of any rubbish before I put them in it but the first thing they like to do is bask!
