Did you notice any runny noses? I ask because of the wet newspapper. That has to be a precarious balance to maintain a high humidity to avoid dehydration and too moist to cause pneumonia.

No runny noses. The paper never gets "wet". More like "humid" :->


I figure the torts bury themselves in the ground, and I'm sure they have humidity somewhere in Central Asia. My basement is extremely dry, and the paper dries out completely in no time.
