Hi everyone i use bark for my tort enclosure and often see that it gets stuck on his "neck" and was wondering if thats something that i should remove when I see. I have sometimes got an a q-tip and gently removed it but is that necesery?

it doesnt really matter, torts are dirty animals, it doesnt bother them.

Hopefully you are soaking your tort regularly anyway. Just use a little water in the soak and it will come away
Yes i am currently 2 times a day bc of some gritty urates but when thats gone i will probalby do maybe 5 times a week.
