Is this stuff growing in my yard okay for sulcata to eat?

Saw this stuff growing on the edges of our lawn. Does anyone know what it is and if it is okay for a baby sulcata to eat?

Looks like splurge to me, which my CDT loves.

The first one is spurge and the other one is purselane. Both of them are high in oxalates, but wild tortoises eat them. If you allow a bit occasionally it won't do any harm, but I wouldn't include it in every meal.

Yvonne is right again. As part a varied diet, they are okay. Just not every day all day for months on end. Variety is king!

This stuff grows in my yard as well and my torts seem to like it but wont eat it if i pick it for them lol. When I give them greens they expect high end stuff.

Here I was thinking it was the same plant just two different views.

My yard is full of it and one of my Sulcata devours it.
