Hahaha!!!! Welcome to tortoise world!!! good way to reduce the clean up frequency is to give your tortie daily soak in warm water for 20-30 min. This is good for them in terms if offering extra hydration. I make sure my soak water stays 98-103F this way those baths also raise the tortie's core body temp which speeds up their metabolism, blood flow, food digestion, absorbtion of nutrients, etc which in turn helps them fight off any potential problems, infections, etc. Mine always literally jump on the supper afterwards. Another benefit of daily warm bath is that they tend to pee and poo up storm during their bath, thus reducing your clean up needs to bath time. Many of our keepers have been pretty successful of getting their pet torts on that schedule which limits or eliminates the mess every place else, including enclosures
