Wandering Jew - Tradescantia - is labelled on some lists as 'mildly toxic' (can cause dermatitis) and on other lists as safe.

I think as a small part of a wider diet or served in moderation you should be fine

Thank you. I'm trying to get them to eat many other things. I heard that wild strawberry leaves are also good for them. I also have strawberry plants, can they eat these leaves as well?

Again, leaves in moderation as part of a wider diet are ok. Avoid the fruit all together though... high sugars aren't good for hermanns and can upset the tortoises gut flora and act as a laxative so bell peppers, tomatoes, fruits etc should all be avoided imo ? hope that helps

Yes. Thank you
