Hey there! I have a 6yr old male Russian tortoise, his name is Trogdor, I've had him for 2 years now, never had any real issues with him however there were a few lifestyle components he was lacking prior to myself taking him home, his nails and beak have never been trimmed and I'm at the point where it needs to be addressed, I'm 3hrs from a vet, which I plan on taking him asap, but in the meantime I am going to try slowly filing his beak myself. His beak in the last two weeks has shown severe dryness and has a chip in it now at the far back side, it's also beginning to peel, I give him calcium everyday, he has a cuttlebone, UVB, and UVA light system, his basking area is 30degrees and the cool end is 20degrees, humidity ranges from 40-60%, he's fed on slate, and bathed for a min of 10mins every two days My question is, because I've heard of Manuka honey being used on turts and torts for healing wounds, I'm wondering if this is something I can lightly apply to his beak to help it heal? Hoping for some help ☹️
