Default Money plant/tree

Was looking at a money plant today and was thinking the leaves are very similar to cactus pads just without the spikes. Would these be okay to feed to to tortoises or not?

I know they're safe to go in their tables, but whether they tend to eat them or not I'm not sure.

Looked this one up on Tortoise Table - also called Jade Plant, mildly toxic and could cause "the runs" but can be fed in moderation. TT advises most tortoises will not bother with it. Shame, I have a huge one of these in my conservatory
