Feet cleaning

[Deleted member 154969]

Hi all!

My boys have been with us three weeks and they’re settling in (finally!). But I noticed today on health check that Richie (on the right here) has dirty feet. Not crazy dirty, but I can see it on his pale back feet.

Any tips on how to get him clean without majorly stressing him out? Should I just leave him til he’s properly settled? He’s skittish anyway and a major wriggler!

Is it that poop is stick on his feet?
If so then you would need to soak them in water to soften it up and then gently try to wipe it off

You could try using a damp cloth or cotton pad to gently wipe Richie's feet, ensuring not to soak them completely, to avoid stressing him out during the cleaning process.
