Hi Carl
the firs one is Ladys mantle (alchemilla sp) related to the rose family edible in salads for us so edible to tortoises no doubt
i have tried it with mine they don't like it actually never touched it .
2nd and 3rd will get back to you on them
4th is marsh cinquefoil (potentilla palustris) again related to roses and strawberrys not sure how edible
5th is Aloe (aloe aristata ?) edible in small amounts leopards will possible eat it can cause loose poo
Darren
