Does anyone know what this is?

It is growing in the tortoise enclosure. They are choosing to eat it.

Looks like Bristley Ox tongue and it is safe for torts.

Thanks Kimmy. I don't think it is Bristley Ox tongue though. It is probably had to tell from the pics. I think i will let some of it grow on to see what it turns into

a pic of it growing would be better as it's impossible to tell what size the leaves are and whether it's a really close up pic or not

I think this might be a lot of different plants. Fox and Cubs has a leaf a bit like that and so do some of the other Hawksbits / Hawksbeards.

Got a flower pic at all?
