Will hermanns tortoise eat all of these weeds?

Hi all, I am currently looking after Matilda, a Hermy who is somewhere between 40 and 50 years of age. She suffered a fly-strike on a cut on her front right leg but seems well on the way to recovery now, albeit still with a daily flush of 10% iodine solution (prescribed by the vet) before going back in her box for the night. Im looking to make her a nice run in the garden but the bit of garden i was going to use has a Lavender shrub in the corner. Should i stop her run short of the Lavender or include it so she has a bit more stuff to hide under??

(Oh, i posted in this thread because i have no idea if she should be able to nibble on the leaves. And ive got dock leaves that will dangle over her run. Should i cut them away?)

forget me not, for a hermann, yes or no??

Hi all, got some stuff growing in the garden im trying to identify to see if safe for Herman tort

A1 & A2 - Clover like leaves with small yellow flowers which grow in the lawn and on bank and get to shape and size of 2nd pic. I believe it may be Yellow Suckling Clover




A3 - Purple head like a thistle but leaves smooth with no spiky bits




Apols for poor quality but autofocus throwing a wobbly

Just to confirm, are ALL geraniums edible for torts? I have a couple in flower pots in the garden.

BUT, they've had miracle grow on them, so does that make them not safe?
