How to clean a redfoot???

[Momo]

Hi guys,
Just wondering how to clean Trinity. Her shell is very dry, and dusty. I know to use a toothbrush, and be gentle,
could I use something? Like either baby soap or 100% natural soap? I have to get her a toothbrush, and the babies. But the babies shells are in really great shape. I'm keeping her humidity up as much as possible, in the crappy enclosure! (And yes her permanent enclosure will be ready tommorow!)

Wouldn't use anything else but water

I just pat them dry after a soak. Their shells are more sensitive than most people realize. I wouldn't use a toothbrush. At least not very often or for very long.

I just bathe them in water and clean them with a sponge.

A soft bristled toothbrush is handy for tight spots

I use a cotton bud and plain water for spud. A toothbrush seems to rough on the little guy

A) Climb into the water.
B) climb out

A) Climb into the water.

So simple, but so true.

I forgot the in between step. Poo in the water.
