I would agree with vetch, a legume that’s fine in small quantities.

I’m not an expert here but I think the first one is a buttercup. In the ranuculus family. Ranuculus are safely eaten by testudo species (I’m growing some intentionaly right now!) but I don’t know about leopards. Perhaps best to avoid until you hear from leopard or sulcata owners.

I don’t know if it’s a strawberry but it’s certainly in the berry family. Safe, if your tortoise will eat it.

I got nothing on the other.

The yellow flower is on the same plant as the red berry. I'm guessing some sort of strawberry, but as with all the plants I encounter in my search I hesitate to feed out of fear that it's some sort of toxic mimic.

Sounds about right for Mock Strawberry. Look at the third pix here
