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

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.

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!
