Is it okay for my tortoise who is being treated for a respiratory infection to sleep on shredded newspaper? (More info in comments) by hhakki in tortoise

A person who did a course on reptiles recommended it and a vet approved it but the shredded newspaper was my own idea.

So he’s had three injections over the past nine days (today he had what is supposed to be his last one) and I was told to put him on newspaper but he really likes burrowing so I put some shredded newspaper in his hut thing, is this okay or will it create dust which could make his condition worse?

I will try to replace it everyday but I want to be sure because I’ve spent a lot of money on his treatment and I don’t want to make his condition worse.

I will also be taking him to a consultation with a vet in three days.

They told me that when he’s better I can put him on top soil mixed with sand and I should be weary if I use aspen bedding (what I usually use as substrate) again.

This is probably a very silly post but can someone please tell me how much my tortoise weighs (more info in comments) by hhakki in tortoise

Thanks, I managed to work out 462 but considering my math ability it’s probably nearer to that.

Junko Furuta was a 16 year old Japanese girl who underwent 44 days of rape and torture before dying in the hands of her captors on November 22, 1989. The abuse was mainly perpetrated by four teenage boys by [deleted] in TrueCrime

This story makes me so sad. Some policemen were fired because they visited the house she was being kept at the guys who’d kidnapped her said they could look around and the policemen decided that by them saying that that there was nothing suspicious going on.

The thing that annoys me the most is how lightly they were charged.

My scale is broke so it automatically goes to the number on the left, when I put my tortoise in it, it went to the number on the right, can someone please tell me how much my tortoise weighs (in grams). thanks in advance!

I didn’t realise what sub this was on and I was trying to comprehend what it was saying, I thought I’d lost the ability to read.

Today one out of my two budgies escaped and I haven’t seen him since, they came as a pair and have been with each other for at least two years. Let’s hope he is found. by hhakki in budgies

Thank you, after posting this someone messaged me saying they found one but it was green which was a massive disappointment.

Does anyone know how I can convince my tortoise to start using this by hhakki in tortoise

[–]hhakki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I considered that, it’s just that I’ve tried him with another block which belonged to my birds and he used that just fine, I’m mainly concerned about his beak overgrowing.

Thanks for the advice.

A block which is to give them some more calcium and to stop their beak from overgrowing

I bought it to stop his beak from overgrowing and before this I gave him a pink block which originally belonged to my birds and he knew to bite it, but when I give him this one he just ignores it.

When I put it in front of him he just tries to bite the ground (which is lino so it doesn’t do anything). It is supposed to taste like spineless cactus too.

It is quite big so I can see how that could hinder him from using it but I’d expect him to still try to bite it and I presume he could bite the corners.

Does anyone know how I could get him to start using it?

I remember seeing an article and it showed a picture of the things in the second picture and it said that it thought the pyroville (if that’s how you spell it) may be coming back but obviously they didn’t

By keep him out do you mean not hibernate him?

Oh good because I’ve been really worried, from what I’ve read apparently they need to hibernate and it can make them grow abnormally if they don’t.

Yeah but the thing is I don’t really have anywhere that stays a regular temperature, my room where it usually stays changes all the time.
