Paul it is a brassica, I asked about this plant last year and I'm sure it is edible but should only be fed sparingly. Can't remember the name tho, I'm still looking lol

Honesty............brassica family ,so full of oxalides so only feed very sparingly and not too often as it inhibits a tortoise to utilise calcium in its diet becuse the oxalides bind the calcium making it useless.
I usually avoid these with hatchlings all together and young torts too....to avoid pyrmiding in juveniles.
