Hi, I have a little problem with bubba. When I feed her, her mouth gets dirty and I don't know how to clean it. Sometimes I rub it with my finger very gentle, but should I even do that.
What should I do?

You just have to learn to live with it.

Usually when you see black around the tortoise's beak its from eating its own poop. Sometimes lettuces and greens will stain the beak. There's really no way to keep them clean. If he permits you to clean it with your finger or a soft brush, that's not harmful.
