You can also gently scrub the legs and arms of your tortoise. # Step 5 Rinse your tortoise's body well. == # Step 1 Know that sunlight and proper nutrition should be enough to keep your tortoise healthy. # Step 2 Know that tortoises generally do not need a commercial salve applied to their shell. # Step 3 Consult a veterinarian for help regarding tortoise shell care.
