When does a beak need trimming
Posted: 18/12/2013 by Mozla

Hi

I have a hermans male and his beak is quite prominent but not too big. If it carries on growing at this rate it will need trimming. Can someome post a picture of a beak that needs trimming so that I will know when it's time. He has a cuttlefish bone and a sandy stone in his table top and he gets outside when it's sunny. I have never seen him try to wear it down himself.

Any help appreciated.Click and drag me down to the editor

Hello,

It would  be better if you submit some photos of the area on your tortoise.
Regards,
Tom
