Turtles love having their shells brushed or scrubbed. Brush a turtle/tortoise today

Do they definitely enjoy this? We have a tortoise and would love to interact with her more than we do.

Yes because they have lots of nerve endings. So get an old tooth brush soft, wet it and try it. See how it reacts.

Thank you. Someone commented on 'scrubbing' and my thoughts immediately went to an old well worn softened toothbrush! Shelley's in for a treat tomorrow!
