Can someone identify these plants for me?

They're all succulents, and appear to be various varieties of Pachyveria.

Awesome! Thankyou

Looks like if I can get seeds or some littlies to grow, my tortoises can eat them if they get too big!

The first and third ones in the photos are much like jade plants, and with one leaf you can grow a whole plant. Just stick the narrow end of the leaf into some potting mix, keep it moist and a new little plant will grow. Eventually the 'mother' leaf will expend all of it's nutrients growing the new plant and wither away.
