How do you remove coconut oil from a tortoises shell? I have recently put coconut oil on my Russian tortoises shell and am curious on how to remove it if I even need to remove it?
You really don't need to remove it. You just get a very soft and absorbent cotton cloth and rub the tortoise with the cloth. This will remove any excess, and the remainder will be absorbed.
I would just put him in a warm water soak and using a soft tooth brush and with a soft touch, try to scrub it off.

I know some people may see it as controversial practice, but this is just something I do. It works for me
