My snail's shell is broken, so I put some membrane from an eggshell on it. I didn't use any glue or anything, I just put the membrane it stays there. So my question is whether the membrane will make it harder for the snail's shell to grow? Should I remove it?
This is really specific lol. I might cross post it. But I try to find uses for everything, or the best way to dispose of things.
I have rats. I accumulate a lot of dirty bedding when their cages get cleaned. I’ve heard burning it is an option, but I don’t know how sustainable that is. I don’t know if composting it would work. I feel like there has to be a solid way to get rid of it, considering all it is is kiln dried pine wood flakes, and rat waste.
I peel off the membranes of eggshells, then crush them up to use for a variety of purposes.
There has to be some good use for them, considering there good uses for the eggshells! I know they can be used as bandages, but I don’t know if that’s only fresh membranes, and also I use bandages rarely. Compost? Idk. Any ideas?

I would have read this in the late 90s - early 00s and I believe it would have been YA or middle grade. I believe the story was set in the past, say late 1800s to maybe 1920s? Certainly before what I would consider modern medicine.
My best guesses are the Great Brain series or an American Girl book but my searches have been fruitless.
I just remember this one specific scene.
A character in the book (likely a kid, but not 100%) is sick with one of those highly contagious diseases that we have since eradicated with vaccines. Smallpox or measles or whooping cough or something.
Sick person starts to choke / can’t breathe because their airway is clogged with mucus? Some kind of membrane?
Quick-thinking protagonist takes an egg and a piece of paper. Rolls the paper into a tube. Cracks the egg, then uses the paper tube to forcefully blow shards of broken eggshell down sick person’s throat to penetrate the mucus and now they can breathe again.
I know one of the Great Brain books had all the siblings infecting each other with childhood illnesses but I have not been able to find this specific scene, so it may not have been from those books at all.
Also had an inkling about Kirsten from the American Girl books, her friend dies of an illness, but again I could not find this specific scene.
Help please!
What are your best dad jokes? Whoever tells me the funniest one will have the honor of knowing their dad joke was my first as a dad.
Edit: there are two winners.
The first is one I told to my wife. It is about him being born with 4 kidneys but two of them will become adult knees. Thank you u/cabbithunt
The second I told me son. "There are two fish in a tank. One fish looks at the other and says 'I'll drive you man the guns.'" Thank you u/kiabe1

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
So i bought her a candle.
