That looks like Campanula, if it is then yes!
Take a peek at the weed thread at the top of the board!

the top one is that sticky weed which I think is ok but I think the bottom one looks like bluebells which are a definate no, if the shiny dark green leaves are with the flowers then I think most with leaves like that are poisonous, I'm probably wrong though

Isn't sticky weed ok but in small amounts? And the flowers are definately blue bells.

by the time you'd pull the sticky one of your clothes and out of your hair the torts would only get a small bit anyway

Bluebells are definately a No, as they are bulbs which are part of the onion family thus toxic. Sticky weed as stated is ok in small amounts.
