Stinky tort :P

[brookeekoorb]

My new baby arrived an hour ago, happy, active and stinky.. he pooped in his little travel cup Now.. he stinks.. I soaked him changing the water several times and wiped him down with a damp cloth but he still stinks lol So ah is this like a wait it out thing or can I use a soft tooth brush? My other little guy never stunk lol New to stinky torts.. help?

I wonder what they fed him to smell so bad.

when mine gets a little stinky or messy I soak him and brush him with a tooth brush and he loves it gets the mess off real quick and the stink level goes down a bit to.

When Leopold arrived he was in the same condition. Poor baby ~ He cleaned up and was odorless in no time.

Stress and\or parasites can lead to that as well.

Some probiotics may help if it is just stress from being rehomed.

Glad to say little one is stink free

Couple baths, a gentle tooth brushing.. outside time and everyone is much happier!
