Default bought some new plants today are they ok?

I got a herbaceous perennial campanula lactiflora. I usually get normal campanulas bought thought I'd try a year round one, is it safe?

Also got an Aloe Rauhi snow flake, its a type of aloe Vera, is this type ok?

Thanks

I think any campanula will be safe to feed. Sorry I don't know about aloe vera.

I think it's a bit iffy on some Aloe's. Not all may be Tort edible friendly , used to feed some to my Tort's a few years ago, don;t bother now.
Too much will give them the run's for sure.

All the ones that are called Aloe something aren't necessarily Aloe Vera, there's Aloe Aristata that I have had which are similar. I don't know if they are all edible or not but Aloe Vera, although edible can't really be fed as a regular food as it will give them the sh*ts
