Make sure this is edible. Nobody want to take risk right? ; )

[Fredkas]

Help me thank you!
I erased out the surrounding leaves to make confusion as low as possible.
1. First plant


2. Second plant


3. Third plant, have 2 pics:



4. Forth plant


5. The last one

I don't know what number 1 is

Numbers 2-4 are all tortoise food with number 4 being dandelion and the rest being "sow thistle" type plants

1 looks like Hibiscus leaves
I'm thinking that they all look like tortoise food.

#1 looks sort of like mullberry, or maybe like Ed said, hibiscus. All are edible except until we find out what #1 is.

 

[DutchieAmanda]

Isn't #2 a sort of Senecio? Because that could be toxic...

 

[Fredkas]

Wow could that be senecio?
I have mature leaf from no. 1 plant, give it to Toro. He seems like it. This is the pic. This helps to identify the plant?

No, it's one of those that I can never remember - prickly lettuce? But it is edible.

Ditto. I can't ever remember the name, but definitely edible. It may also be that the common name for it is different on each side of the Atlantic which won't help

Ok so all are edible. No. 1 whether it is hibiscus or mulberry, both are edible. I look into google pic and found out that the branch of mulberry tree indeed have brown dots on it.
Well, looks like i can start to give sow thistle's flower to Toro . He should be happy. Thank you all.

1. Don't know.
2. Sow thistle. Good stuff.
3. Sow thistle.
4. Dandelion.
5. Can't remember which one that is, but edible and good.

Thanks tom. This morning i was thinking to get some sow thistle's flowers. But i threw it away because i don't wanna take a risk before asking it here.
The stem had white sap, is it ok? It was white and after less than a minute, it became very light brown. I try it with no. 2, 3 and 5 plants, they all the same. The pics show the sap color transition though.

The thistles are very safe; don't worry about the sap. The seeds will be easy to get as well. Grab some of the flowers while they are open, like that one above your hand in the picture just above. It will go fluffy and turn into seeds pretty quick. Put the seed heads in something while they dry out; I just use an plastic bag that is open, to make sure they stay completely dry. When I'm sure they are dry, I just zip up the bag!

Picture number five is Bristly Ox Tongue. Some of the leaves will get little "lumps" or bumps on them as they get larger. They leaves also tend to be a little stiff. Same plant family as the thistles and dandelions, all good.

Your tortoise is adorable!

Fredkas, I've been feeding all five of those to all of my tortoises for decades and they are all good tortoise food. The sap is not a problem.

 

[Fredkas]

Good!!! Nothing to worry now. Toro have nice new food!!! Thanks all for the help
