The bottom photo - one with white spots is creeping buttercup, and that's a no, the top photo, not sure, might be some kind of cow parsley, which is a no too.

Im afraid you will either have to go weed picking with a carrier bag like us other nutty tortoise owners or grow your own weeds. If you buy the wild flower & weed seeds from SW shop they actually grow very quickly. I have weeds growing in a certain area of my garden but i still go out and collect a jam packed full carrier bag a week x

Oh alley, i might get to that soon, when i say a carrier bag a week it depends on how much they eat, it can be more like 2 carrier bags a week ha ha ha x

How many tortoises do you have for a carrier bag a day! x
