Aloes are fine and my tort loves them (especially aloe vera), but feed in only small quantities as too much can give them the runs (just like sedum spectabile). The best cactus for torts is opuntia: most varieties have spines or (even worse) glochids, which are fine, hair-like spines), but you can find varieties that are virtually spineless. If you have ones with spines get yourself a good pair of tweezers, cut off the pad you want to feed, and burn the spines off with a lighter.
