<< No, Tom, I am not an expert....As far as the cleaning the cleft goes and

 on any kind of regular basis and kept in normally clean conditions (not
 standing in manure) would not get thrush regardless of whether the clefts
 of his frogs are routinely cleaned or not.   My advise would be to clean
 the foot well with the reasoning being that there could be a rock, nail,
 piece of glass or other harmful item stuck in there - if the dirt in the
 cleft actually is helpful, it will accumulate there in between cleanings
 anyway....
 
 All IMHO...
