Cuttle bone is good but it's so long that I would trim it. Is there a turtle vet or turtle rescue near you that can do it for you?
I trim beaks myself but it is best to see sometime with experience do it first and show you how.

Yes, it is too long. It will need trimming or filing. You can do this yourself. However, if you have never done it before, you may want to have a chelonian vet do it the first time and then you can see how it's done for if there is a next time. You can also search on this forum for threads explaining how it's done. Then feed her on a ruff flat stone or tile to help keep it filed down.
