I am almost certain that the sedum stonecrop is toxic to tortoises, all the other sedums are ok to give except that one, somebody else will verify that for me hopefully, sorry

Sedum Acre or Bitting Stonecrop is the one to avoid, listed as toxic

No some garden center's call it an ice plant, confusing, it is in the stonecrop family, it is safe.
