Grassy smell?

[Kmouse64]

I have a baby Sulcata tortoise and of course his main diet is clover, grass and lots of greenery. I have noticed when I hold him and he gets close to my face that he has a smell. Its kind of a grassy smell. Does anyone else's tortoise have a distinct smell? Thanks!

The likely grass smell is because he eats grass, clover and what ever the other greens are.
Many others that had a smell, has mentioned a bad smell like poop or a dirty smell.
Some torts will eat poop if it's not cleaned up, so that's why the tort would smell like it or because they have some stuck in their self some place.
