    Beak help

    interesting. I’ve tried the dremel and he freaked out and didn’t come out for a day. Diagonal pliers is interesting. He used to let me pet his head now he won’t let me come close to his face :(

    Beak help

    Hi everyone. Long time tortoise owner. I currently have a large male sulcata. He is over 120 pounds and his beak is quite long and is growing out. I have been trying to trim it for months. Vet tried and failed, I’ve tried everything. I had three guys trying to hold him and we couldn’t get him...

    Help with beak

    Thanks. He's amazing. Ok so I tried to trim his beak with a Dremel this afternoon and it was pretty traumatic, I think for more me and the kids that him (little kid was crying the whole time). I had zero luck. I maybe filed it down a tiny bit, but once he figured out what I was doing he wanted...

    Help with beak

    Hi everyone. I have a large sully with a weird beak issue going on. I have been trying to trim this down but am not having luck. Should I be concerned about the way this is growing? He lives outside all year and is eating like normal.

    Male Female Aggression

    The story had a happy ending, she went to a home here in Texas. My only conclusion as to what happened here is a scarcity of food. She went crazy when it got really hot and my grass in their area stopped growing. I was supplementing their food but I wonder with the food supply drying up had...

    Male Female Aggression

    Yeah, he was adopted in last year. Lived in seattle his whole life, inside in a pen, only sunlight through a window. Super sad. He has a funky shell and a really long neck, but we love him. He came to us super aggressive and in bad shape, he has really blossomed. He's a bit beat up now...

    Male Female Aggression

    I don't know what to do. The male is a rescue, and we love him so much. The female is newer and we bought her. I don't feel like putting these bigger tortoise in a smaller pen is good for them, they've had the run of the whole place for so long. Anyone want a female?
