I'm pretty sure one of my tortoises has an overgrown beak. It can still eat but it seems like it has to work harder at getting a bite to eat. I think the beak is getting in the way. I've started calling around for a reptile vet. How much have you paid for something like this? The vets I've contacted won't just trim the beak. They also want to do an exam. Does this seem normal? The cost of the exam and beak trim was quoted as $55-65 US dollars. Do you think I should bring both of the tortoises in so the vet can compare beaks? The other tortoise's mouth/jaw lines up just fine with no beak overgrowth.
I was told they will just a dremmel tool to file it down. Is this typical?
