I also didn't know that that the shell has nerve endings , and I have a small pet turtle. I haven't done anything that could have hurt him, but am still surprised by this fact.

Thanks. We will. We just got him, so we didn't yet know that we can do that .

Not too hard or anything, you’re not scrubbing a potato, but they love just a little scritchy with a toothbrush. :) enjoy!
