I just created a short video showing how to gently file a tortoise's slightly overgrown beak with an emery board.

I hope this is ok to post on here - this is purely educational and for fun.
Boo's beak was terribly overgrown when we first rescued him. I trimmed it quite a bit, and I feed him on a flat rock to maintain a short beak. Because his beak still isn't as short as it should be, I have been filing it down little by little.
