Plant ID 1

I have a bunch of plants that I'd like to know if are safe for my Redfoot Tortoise. I'm pretty sure this is a Jade plant but want to make sure.

Portulacaria (elephant bush) - edible. In Africa, some of the native people have named this bush "tortoise food."

Thanks.

Yes this is safe to feed. As Yvonne G. Points out it’s an elephant plant. Don’t expect your tortoise to get to excited about eating it though, they have a sour taste most tortoises don’t really care for.
