Since I've moved to a new place couple months ago and I saw a lot of grasses and groundcover in my place. So i pictured them to ask whether i can feed my tortoise with these. Thank you guys a lot

1 is broadleaf plantain. Very good food. 3 and 6 are dandelion. 7 is wood sorrel, also called oxalis I believe. It contains lots of ocalic acid which can prevent calcium from being absorbed, so feed sparingly or not at all.

The grass pictures show crab grass.

Depending on what kind of tortoise you have it might not be interested in grass.
