These old eyes can't tell from the small picture what the plant looks like, sorry.

I can't be sure, because I can't see it well enough, but my guess is that #2 is purselane. It is edible for humans and tortoises, but contains a lot of oxalic acid.

Yikes! My mom put that in our salad when we were little. She used to pick it in our yard, and we used to see the boxies eat it all the time.
