Hair in his poo

[torts.kush]

I'm giving my baby greek a soak and he let out a tiny little poop but a hair came out with and now its dangling, what should I do? Pull it out? Or will I hurt him

I would give it a little pull if it comes out easy then pull it out. If it doesn't you can cut it as small as possible and let it get pooped out next time. Don't pull it if there is resistance.

If your tortoise is a bit constipated, additional warm soaks are called for. Are you feeding enough fiber? Just some quick thoughts for help.

I shed like crazy, this happens. I just cut them off at the tail.

This happened to me last year. DO NOT PULL! Do what @wellington suggested and cut it short so it doesn’t strangle a leg or toe. It took three days and a few hair cuts because my hair is long. I now do soaks with my hair tied up.

You can pull it as long as there is no resistance. Done it quite a few times but with more long grass pieces, and moss then hair. Never, ever had it wrapped around anything inside. Like I said though in my first post. As long as it comes out easily without resistance.
