What you should not use is anything that can hold the damp. As mould can grow and thats bad for tortoises.
I used to use shredded paper around my tortoises.
I used to put them in an
A4 paper box with shredded paper.
Then put the A4 box inside a large polystyrene box (the type tropcial fish are transported in) with shredded newspaper around the A4 box.
Then kept it in the garage which is attached to the house. And monitored the temps in there.
