Yes, it is edible and would be ok as part of a varied diet. No one food item should be fed constantly. Variety is key.

Good to know and thanks for the reply, and I agree with you that variety is the key.
I am trying to find new food items to add into the diet roster.

It's good to find new foods they can eat.
I think this is a nice, shiny, pretty plant, but if it's edible for torts, then it will be fed.

Yeah, but the tortoise hates the leaves part, will only eat the stem and spit out the leaves.
