The first flower looks like some kind of Cranesbill (hardy geranium). Those are included in the list of safe forage.
The second my plant app thinks is some kind of Sorrell (Oxalis). I don't know if that is safe for piggies.
You could try downloading the app I use for more accuracy, PlantNet. It's free to download (cos I'm stingy and won't pay for apps!

yes, I was thinking Cranesbill or Mallow? they are ok
But that second one is to avoid, it has leaves that look like clover three leaved but it isn’t clover and poisonous, just looked it is Oxalis (Shamrock) leave well alone

I agree on both counts with the identification of @Qualcast&Flymo geranium/cranesbill and oxalis but I'm not sure whether they are safe for piggies. What most people call geraniums are tender pelargoniums and these are poisonous to pets, they are not the same as these hardy geraniums.
