Can anyone identify these weeds

Not 100 percent sure so any help would be much appreciated with the identification of these weeds, thank you

Non are suitable for tortoises.
The first is willow herb, not sure of the others names, but my tortoises don't eat them.

I agree with willowherb but I don't recognise the other one.

Does nobody know that last one? Just curious to know!

I am not very good at all but like to learn, - do you think it could be Nipplewort Jonathan? I can't see if it has tendrils and is that a purple flower in the middle? Foals Foot weed are heart shaped but not sure as this isn't common.

It looks a bit like a hop plant........maybe Marie could take another photo. X x x. Hugs x x x

Not looking like nipplewort to me, that's more of an upright plant with one or several main stalks that produce fower heads.

I agree that it's not nipplewort. The leaves look a little like nettle leaves to me but I keep thinking it looks almost like a fruit-bearing plant, a tad like raspberry leaves.
Hmmm....I'm a bit stumped on it!
