It's the vitamin A. Vitamin A competes with vitamin D for uptake, by blocking VDRs (Vitamin-D Receptors) in cells. It's okay for humans, as we've much bigger, but for smaller animals 2,000IUs/100g is way too much for tortoises. Imho, humans need to be carful, too, and watch overall daily intake of vit A, if adding purslane to their diet.

View attachment 97981 i was looking at turtle pics and looks at this!

That is really crazy looking! I had no idea anything like that existed! It's really cool looking, but I keep getting this vision of it crawling out from beneath my bed in the middle of the night to attack my toes! Eeeek!
