The problem is the once the notches formed, they self perpetuated.
Everything he eats rides into the notches- so all the wear occurs there. The point of his beak never gets used, the sides never get used.
Apart from putting him on a soft diet (which I've never tried), I don't see what can be...
Pretty sure I know the answer is NO, but thought I'd put this out there in case there are any known solutions.
Years ago my Dalmation chomped down on some chicken wire, shattering off the thin sides of his beak and creating notches.
Food migrates into the notches when he eats and his beak no...
I assumed he meant flip them upside down, but after re-reading his post it seems he means right side up, which isn't going to work for my tortoise as in that position he will pull in his head.
4 years ago my Dalmation tortoise (Rhialto) chomped on some chicken wire damaging the sides of his beak. As a result his beak no longer wears uniformly and the front of his beak continues to grow more and more pointy like a raptors beak.
I have an excellent Casfuy brand trimming tool I can use...
Pretty sure Rhialto's beak growth issues are due to the damage he incurred 2 years ago when he chomped down on chicken wire I had put down to prevent digging out of an outdoor pen.
The damage notched out the sides of his beak. For past 2 years whenever he eats (weeds), they tend to ride into...
I sprinkle calcium rich reptivite on his radicio. He generally ignores whatever coquina or calcium rich stone i put in his pen. However if he's in the backyard he'll bite at small coquina pebbles (which are all over this area)
I usually stop him for fear he'll choke on one.
He did damage the...
Tortoise has food fed to him on a slab of sandstone. Coquina calcium rocks in his enclosure. Neither has helped control beak.
Eats mostly weeds pulled from yard plus radicio leaves

Finally found something safe and fast for trimming beak on my Dalmatian tortoise
Previously attempted dremel, too slow and dangerous. Not comfortable using a nail clipper.
This casfuy grinder with diamond wheel worked like a charm
