Cress??

Is cress okay to be eaten by my RT?
I was in the supermarket today when I came across a pot so I thought I'd buy one and place it in his table to see his reaction.. As you can see from the photo he's quite interested in it and has eaten a fair amount, will this cause any harm and/or should the cress be removed?

I'm not too knowledgeable about plants, but I believe this one is okay. I believe it is also known as Nasturtium, but I may be wrong. If the tortoise is eating it, it is probably okay. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will come along.

I've fed cress to my mike and he's ok. I believe it's fine in moderate amounts.

If it is water cress, then it is okay to feed in moderation.

I put cress in with my hermanns...she demolishes it as soon as it goes in so I'm gathering she approves!! I also found a living salad mix in the supermarket with various leaves that I plant in...doesn't last too long!! Also I find it lasts better and stays fresher than the bagged salad mixes!
