My 4yr has broke the tip off it's top beak. Will it grow back?

Hi dlwarner:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

May we know your name and where you are?

Just like your fingernails, a beak continues to grow.

Hi Dayla:

Depending upon how far up the beak broke, it might be pretty painful. If it was just the tip, and not into the quick, it would be just like the end of your fingernail...just like a trim.

It's just the tip. I thought it looked like it was growing back but was unsure. Thank you.
