Not terrible, but it is a little longer than it needs to be.Hi all — any concerns regarding the length of our Peb’s beak?
We have never trimmed it, and feed them on stone slate, but my husband is worried it’s getting too long

They are 7-8. They’re really a good eater typically, but we’ve had a few days of not eating recently, and we haven’t seen them open their mouth in a few days.How old is he?
I have had mine since 2011 and never trimmed and they are not at all needing any filing.
I do not feed on slate, and I do not cut up their food and they graze outside all summer.
They? You have more than one and they are living as a pair? Tortoises should never live in pairs.They are 7-8. They’re really a good eater typically, but we’ve had a few days of not eating recently, and we haven’t seen them open their mouth in a few days.
Now we are seeing urates… we were not soaking as often as we should. I really hope we can turn it around. Been soaking them 2x daily, re-upped the humidity in their enclosure and hide. Just not sure how to tell if there is something going on with their jaw / beak.
No, we bought a ‘female’ and then were told it was a male, so we struggle with the pronoun still. They/them’d them. They are single, and live alone.They? You have more than one and they are living as a pair? Tortoises should never live in pairs.
So there is more going on than just the question of the beak?
If you would give all details we can help much faster and better.
So now give us everything that has to do with their care? Lights, temps, heating, etc, etc. How many and what size enclosure?
Diet?
Leopards usually don't pass urates. Mine since 2011 have never passed urates.
We need ALL info
It's confusing when people do that, cuz we think you have more than one. He or she and you won't get the lecture of pairs. They refers to more than one.No, we bought a ‘female’ and then were told it was a male, so we struggle with the pronoun still. They/them’d them. They are single, and live alone.
I just posted in the Health sub.
Noted. Sorry for the confusion.It's confusing when people do that, cuz we think you have more than one. He or she and you won't get the lecture of pairs. They refers to more than one.
We had a cuttlebone in there, and he hasn’t touched it. We haven’t given him any other supplement to the normal diet. That contributes to urates? He has recently had a bunch of new growth.My leopard has passed urates once. How much calcium do you use?
