Mineral oil on body

[Waffle]

I gave my babies a bath (5 leo girls) in the kitchen sink with a splash of mineral oil to help with their toes. Worked great but now they are shiny! This method even got the balled up skin that I have been struggling with forever and I was afraid toes would be lost. I rinsed each one for several minutes under warm running water and tried drying them with a towel but they are still glistening. Is this bad? My 2 boys will need the same toe treatment but I am afraid.

welcome to GF! I would guess that eventually the shininess will wear off. I find it pretty easy to get stuck shed off the toes with a simple soak in 1/2" of warm water for about 30 seconds.

Thanks! Yeah usually the simple shallow bath works but this time I needed a little more help.

It's fine. I've used mineral oil in the past for stubborn sheds with no problems.
