If the cut is not very deep, then just wipe it off with a bit of water or hydrogen-peroxide (use a swab). Then just put a dab of Neosporin on it. Reptiles in good health have amazing powers of recovery.

: They are russian tortoises, house is a 5' diameter kiddie pool with lizard litter bedding. They have a shallow reptile bowl with water, an additional one with food and a upside-down box (with an opening) as a hideout. They are petshop rescues, so they are just a little over 4" in size. I just wanted to know if I should try to wash off the cut or get that turtle/tortoise eye rinse they sell at the pet store.

: : Well, what sort of tortoises do you now have, how are you housing them, what is in their enclosure that they could have cut themselves on, and how large are they now? Give some background so we can help you...
