Welshchick asked in PetsReptiles · 1 decade ago

I am looking after a tortoise for a friend and need help please!?

Is it okay to replace the sawdust in her tank with the same I use for the guinea pig?

In the bag with her stuff was a sponge, any ideas what it's for?

    sawdust is not good, too dusty, and yeah you could buy another if it snuffs it, but have you got a spare £180 which is what i paid for each of mine, you could be looking on alot more depending on what species they are, not sure about sponge though... sorry

    Look- if it snuffs it, you can always buy another one. They all look the same and maybe the new one will be younger with a longer life expectancy (That is if you don't look after it again).
