Can anyone ID please

[Amanda81]

So I am finally starting to see some grass and weeds popping back out and have actually had a day or two that temps allowed the big guys to go out for a couple hours of grazing. I watched intensely as Marv moved around munching on this and that. I have IDed the majority of what he chose to eat but have came up empty handed on a few.
Can anyone ID these for us?
Number 1

It has the little tiny blue flowers on it and is popping up in large patches.
Number2

I haven't seen any bloom in this one
Number3

This is the individual leaf from it

Number4

This one looks as tho it is prickly but it's really not.

Again any help would be great. The sulcata nibble on all these so I really want to make sure their safe and if so should I allow them to eat as they want or is it something I should restrict the amount of.
Thanks in advance.

number 3 is filaree good tort food.

Your first plant looks like a "baby blue eyes" - Nemophila sp. - I don't think you should offer it, but not dangerous.
Second looks like a true Geranium; wait for flowers to confirm the ID, but if so, it is good to feed.
I do not think the third one is a "filaree" I recognize.
The last one looks like one of the "sow thistles" - good eating if you're a tortoise.

can we have more pics of number 3?

 

[Amanda81]

Thank you guys for the help!! I try to ID weeds myself but some of them I just can't be 100% sure so it's extremely helpful to hear from someone else. I will grab some more pics of number 3 in the morning and post. Thanks again!

Sorry it's took so long to get more pics of this weed, it's rained the last couple days and I couldn't get any pics. Luckily it's rained on and off all day so I was able to go and snap a few more.

This is a close up of the center, right as it comes out of the dirt and the new leafs seem to come in at.

These are individual leafs I pulled off

Not filaree, sorry Nick.
#2 looks like carolina geranium
#3 ??

So today I happened onto a couple new items for the torts (new to me) and I got them all IDed except these two, any IDs would be greatly appreciated.
Number 5: this one I found a couple small plants and then later I found a rather large area just covered in it. I took a pic of a small plant and a pic of a couple individual leafs pulled off the plant. It's kinda similar to the previous one I posted (at first I thought it was the same thing)but this one doesn't have smooth glossy leafs and I also noticed the stems weren't red in color and none of the leafs have the silvery color either.



Number6: this one is very delicate feeling, thin. I originally came across this one little plant under some pine trees, complete shade, no others in sight but then on up the hill, in the full sun, I found a huge plant of the same thing. I also took pic of individual leafs I pulled from the large plant.
This is small one

Individual leafs

The large plant, there is some chickweed tangled up w this plant that is blooming the little white flowers.


Again any help is much appreciated.

Number 5 would appear to be something in the buttercup family- Ranunculaceae. All shoul be considered toxic ( although there is evidence that Hermann's can eat some species )
No. 6 looks like a member of the Apiaceae - many are dangerously toxic, and positively identifying them is tricky - best avoided.

Thank you for the ID. I am attempting to make myself more self sufficient with the plant identification thing. I use an app that someone here on the forum suggested, garden compass and the another app called ID weed, you basically have to get lucky and match your weed to a pic from the large list in that app. I will usually attempt that route if I can't make an ID myself and then here as well. I try and ID any and all things so I can offer as much as possible to my shelled guys and then of course remove what might pose a danger. I really have no knowledge of the whole plant thing honestly. I understand that there are "family's" of plants and in that family you could have an endless amount but where to find the information I come up short. Say I knew what a plant was, how do I go about figuring out if it's safe? Are there any websites or other sources you could suggest that would help with IDs and how to tell if their safe or not?
Again, thanks for all the help.

Most stae agricultural universities will have a site with the important weeds in their state.

Got another something, with blooms this time. I tried my best to get a good shot of leaves and bloom.

The leaves are heart shaped and some seem to make a cup where the leave meets the stem. The blooms are just purple, no other colors in the center or anything.

 

[Amanda81]

Ok IDed this last one as wild violet. Is this safe to feed?

 

[Amanda81]

Update on #3:
Garden compass IDed # 3 (possibly) as Aven, Geum canadense.

 

[Amanda81]

So again I am attempting to ID weeds. One to feed and two I'm wanting to plant more different stuff in the enclosures for spring. I am running into some problems
Matching things to pics, this is the only way I know to ID them. I have attempted for days to match stuff to pics, some I got lucky but I got some I just ain't sure about and if I'm not 100% on it I won't risk it. If anyone can help ID these I would surely appreciate it.
A

This is growing flat against grown

This is same with blooms

B



C


D

This is on a slim tall stem

These are the blooms at very top of the stem.

E


F

The stalk on this is hard if you squeeze it

G

This is about 4' tall and it has thorns all along the stems.

Again, Any help would be great.
