Cleaning beak?

[Jay1718]

ok this sounds dumb I know, but does anyone clean their tortoise's beak. My sulcata has a green beak most of the time from constantly eating. He is soaked every day which washes most of it away. Just wondering if I should be taking any measures to clean him up? Any tips

Green beaks are beautiful ( when you are a tortoise ).....

But now seriously: I never cleaned my tortoises beaks and I think they were not amused when I would try this. They would be hissing and hiding in their shell.

No, it is really not necessary.

Yes, I agree wth Bee. A dirty, green beak indicates your Sully has been happily eating away and is happy. Like a pig in mud! All good!

Heres our Sully washing up...
