If they don't answer, call back once. If they still don't answer, leave a message asking them to call you back and give a brief explanation of why you're calling. Unless you're in an emergency, resist the temptation to call anyone repeatedly in the hopes your call will be answered. This can be irritating and can be considered rude. If you're leaving a voice message, keep your message brief and be sure to speak slowly, state your name and your phone number. If you're calling a number that they share with others (such as a landline number), be sure to state whom you wish to speak to. Speak clearly and calmly. This is especially important if the person you're calling is an acquaintance or someone you know professionally. It's possible that your mutual friend knows if your friend is avoiding your calls or if they're busy with another activity and is unable to attend calls at the moment. Your mutual friend might also be able to give you any indication of whether or not your calls are being avoided. If your call is not answered, have someone else call that person immediately after you do. If their call is answered but yours isn't, it's possible that your friend is avoiding your calls. If you're close to your mutual friend, explain the situation to them. If their call is attended, they might weave into conversation that you were both trying to call and your call was not answered. Make sure you pick a friend who is socially intelligent: pick someone who gets along well with others and whom you've seen successfully navigate tricky social situations such as making peace between two friends. A socially intelligent friend will be better able to assess the situation and give you advice. It's possible that your friend has lost their phone or prefers text messages over phone conversations. If you're close to them, you'll have an idea of which mode of communication they prefer. Try a social media platform that they frequently use. Is this a really close friendship or a family member or someone whom you want a smooth relationship with? Has anything happened lately that could explain their behavior? Were harsh words exchanged recently or did you do something that might have offended them? If the answer to all questions is no, then ask yourself if it's worth worrying about it. Brush it off, busy yourself with other things and try other means of communicating with them, if you need to. Consider reducing the frequency of your calls if you are still bothered by your friend ignoring you. If nothing else, this will create fewer chances for your feelings to be hurt. If this is a relationship that you want to be smooth, you'll need to put in some effort to make things better. If you know that something you have done or are doing is the reason your calls are being avoided, try to show you're sorry or stop doing that particular thing. Pay special attention to the way you behave on the phone. For example, if you know that your friend doesn't like to gossip but you do, avoid gossiping about others when you call them. Or if you've recently hurt their feelings, meet with them or write to them to apologize. Once you make amends with a person, they are not likely to avoid you. If changing your behavior does not rectify the situation or if you want to get to the heart of the matter, talk to them about what is going on. Ask to meet them at a time that's convenient for both of you. Make sure you set aside enough time, in case you have a long discussion. Tell them you've noticed that they've missed your calls lately and you're wondering why that is.

The container should be small enough on the sides that your tortoise should be able to climb out of it. Add lukewarm water to it. Make sure the tortoise's head pokes above the water when he's in it, but it should be about chin deep. You can also place one end of the tub on a book to create a slight angle, making a shallow end and a deep end. Place the tortoise's head at the shallow end. The tortoise will spend time in the water, using it to rehydrate his body. Tortoises use water to rehydrate their bodies. They absorb it through a vent in the tail know as the cloaca. The tortoise needs to soak for at least 20 minutes, but he will generally let you know when he's done by trying to climb out. Once the tortoise has soaked, you can take the water out. Discard the water in the toilet to avoid spreading any germs. You can also take the tortoise from his cage to put him in a basin and simply take him out when he's done. Make sure the tortoise is dry when he goes back to his cage. Use a towel to gently sponge him off. Start with the shell, gently rubbing the water off. Also, pat off the head, arms, and legs, being sure to get in all the cracks. How much water you need to provide depends on the type of tortoise, the time of year, and whether he's inside or outside. Inside, you may need to do it as often as once a week, especially if the humidity is low. Outside in the heat, the tortoise will need it twice a week, and you can let the water dry up in between. It's especially important to provide a bath when the tortoise is coming out of hibernation, as the tortoise will need to rehydrate. When the tortoise is hibernating and inside, you may only need to provide water about once a month.
