Hi all, so pleased to have found this great resource. I've never owned a tortoise myself but as a vet nurse I have nursed a number of them over the years.
The tortoise I am adopting is aprox 15-20 years old and has predominantly been kept indoors in a shed with little outside time. I am yet to find out the specific info re what specific care she has had. She belongs (for 2 more days) with a friend of a friend and so I want to ensure I am cautious with voicing any of my concerns.
Her beak is very long, and she appears to have some pyramiding - please see pics for info
Does anyone have any advice or recommendations as to specific care for her beak (I'm planning to trim this down over the next few weeks, Once settled)
I live in the UK, in Suffolk and am open to all the advice I can get
