It's been almost 6 years since I kept her and her beaks are growing but I don't know what to do with it.
I tried giving her cuttlefish bone but she doesn't gnaw on it but just chops it with her beak and swallows it so that didn't help.
And I tried terra cota food dish but it didn't seem to help either.
Finally I tried to give her a beak trim several times with a file and a scissors but it didn't go well.
I watched the youtubes and the tortoises there stayed still when pinched gentley on the neck so that they can't tuck their head in but my tortoise shaked her head and legs so hard when I did that I almost poked her in the eye.
I live in Korea and the only reptile vet near my home said he does not give beak trim services so I don't know what I should do.
So can you give any help on how to keep her beak short or how to make her stay still while trimming her beak?
I add her pics below
