Is it a Hebe? (Euonymus)
I found this seedling in our garden, is it a hebe? If yes, can i put it in small pot in the tort table?
 Thank everyone for answering my previous questions, just dont want to bump the old threads to the top

I too wonder is that hebe, there's quite a bit of it growing near.

No, I'm sure it's not a hebe. Its a variegated leaf of one of those trailing things. Sorry if that not much help but I'm sure its not a hebe.

Looks like Euonymus fortunei. I have found references to it being toxic to Sulcata and Leopard tortoises.

Yes, it's definitely a euonymus, and shouldn't be fed to your tort. If you look at the photos of various types of euonymus on this link, you can see that the first one of the small pics is your plant
