Columbine is in the background I think the weed in question is the vine OP is holding, which looks like some type of morning glory. I seem to recall reading somewhere that neither columbine nor morning glory are ok to to feed. Now there is a type of morning glory that's supposed to be ok butI'm not sure which one it is

The needle dandelion is safe

The first one looks like bindweed, my torts love it. The second one is prickly lettuce, according to The Tortoise table it's toxic, but I feed it every day.

That's the one! Bindweed! Is it the only "morning glory" type of plant with that leaf shape? I haven't really payed attention. I have bunch of different ones growing in my garden with different color flowers and their leaves are little different shape yet very easy to distinguish among other plant leaves. I din't think any of my morning glories have leaves of this shape

out of curiosity is that because the tortoise table tends to be innacurate? ive never used it before?

The tortoise table tends to err on the side of caution which is understandable really. It also leans towards the diet of Testudo torts, but gives enough info for keepers of other species to make a good judgement.

The Tortoise Table says Bindweed may be fed in moderation. Joe likes it too. @WithLisa is mistaken

I'm not sure, I've never seen morning glory, I only know it from pictures.

Yes, but prickly lettuce is listed as 'Do not feed'.
