So my little guy seems to have an issue with his bottom beak/jaw. I didn’t realize his beak was over growing so much until one day it was as clear as day! Gave him a cuttlebone and he worked his magic on his top beak. But his bottom isn’t getting shorter and I think I see a crack that goes all the way down. I already have an appt with an exotic vet but not until 9/12. I’m worried that his jaw is cracked. Is that possible? His activity is normal and he’s eating great. He even lets me touch his face to look at it. Anyone have experience with this type of thing? I figure as long as he’s eating, pooping and moving around great, he’s not in too much pain. But I don’t know what is normal for this kind of issue. TIA

BTW, Tom if you end up reading this…this is one of your guys that we got last April 2021.
