1. Looks like chickweed. Safe
2. A young horseweed perhaps. This one tends to be debatable on its safeness. My opinion is that if it's growing in the outdoor enclosure and the tort eats it then it's no big deal. But it's not one that I will purposely offer.
3. Buttercup. Considered to be toxic if large amounts are ingested. I despise this invasive weed. http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plant-database/viewplants/?plant=71&c=6#.WsKPU-BlA0M

Agreed #2 is horseweed. Edible but not very tasty. I pull them because horseweeds get very large and hideous very quickly!

Thank you! I will go out and get rid of 2 and 3. Only want good weeds in my yard.
