Hello, just wondering what this weed is.
What plant is this?

I have that one too. It stinks when you break the stem, and the animals don't eat it. I don't know what it is.
I'm pretty sure it's Yarrow. Tortoise Table says that it is not edible.
No clue about tortoise consumption, sorry. I just know guinea pigs love it.
If it is Yaaro then several sites say that it is edible. It is in my tortoise pen but I don't know if she is eating it. I couldn't decide whether to pull it out or not.
It sure looks like yarrow to me, with a flower stalk pushing up on the top left of the photo. Can you show us a picture of the entire plant?
One reads both that yarrow is safe and not safe, depending on the source. I go with "safe!" My Russian tortoise loves browsing it and regularly turns down other foods just now. Last year she only took the occasional bite; this year when she came out of hibernation, it was a big YES for her.
