Looks more like Oxalis to me..which is tasty but not necessarily great for torts.

Laduke's right. It's Oxalis. Different people have different feelings about this weed.

I wouldn't care if my tortoise snagged a big now and again, but wouldn't intentionally feed it in large amounts.
Here's a link that talks about it pretty well. Just bare in mind the negative side effects are only if consumed in large amounts regularly...

Thanks guys this helped so much! I for sure wouldn't feed in huge amounts so the negatives are out but I was mainly asking to see if every one of em had to be pulled out
