I Took Some Pictures Of Some Plants and Trees That Are Around My House, Im Unfortunately Unable To Identify These Plants Due To My Grandma Passing Away 7 Years Ago, and She Maintained The Gardening and EveryThing!
I Was Able To Identify Rose And Hisbisics Which I Feed My Little Guy,

Can Anyone Please Help and See What It is
and Edible?

3 is Bougainvillea, I've heard yes and no on edible or not.
5 looks like Creeping fig. Is it a vine or a bush?

The first one looks like a walnut and they probably won't eat it.
The third one is Bouganvillia and they probably won't eat it.

according to what i recognize;

1. Elm, my guys like and do fine eating the leaves

2. Don't know, but its make up reminds me of rubbery leaves, like
an elephant ear "type", while I don't think it to be elephant ear
it appears that same type, so I would avoid this until you
have nursery confirm what it is for you

3. Got nothing, but have seen it before

4 & 5. These remind me of a boxwood "type" leaf, I would avoid
unless you have a positive id of it with a nursery

I got nothing else....I would suggest however, maybe taking the pics to your local nursery and maybe they can tell you what each is, this is what I have done in the past and have always had great success... good luck :p

1&2 no idea
3 is bouganvilla.... they dont eat it and its not toxic
4&5 looks like ficus may be another species or a type of croton
ficus are normally found in tree form.. but can also be pruned into bushes... i could be wrong about them and dont know if they are safe. 100% sure that 3 is bouganvilla though.
the last one i have no idea.

I had a number 4 in my sulcata pen at my old house. They lived in there for about 7 years with no problem. I never saw them trying to eat it, but I kept it trimmed up and out of their reach. They used it a lot for shade.
