I live in California and I have this weed like plant growing all over. Anyone have any ideas about what it is or if my baby sulcata tortoise can eat it?
Is this weed ok?

Sometimes tiny pinkish flowers appear ...
See if it is Corn Speedwell.. https://www.preen.com/weeds/md
A low-growing plant with sprawling stems and small, oval to triangular leaves. Both stems and leaves are covered with soft, fine hairs. Flowers have 4 petals and bloom in early spring.

Looks more like chickweed.

Looks like "Poor Man's Weather Glass".
Anagallis aveensis or scarlet pimpernel or red chickweed - it's a medicinal weed that contains some toxins. I doubt a tortoise would eat it.
