Russian Tortoise can't eat

[TheWarTortoise]

My Russian tortoise's mouth has both of the sides of it "eroded". I will try to get some pictures soon, but it makes it that he can't eat his lettuce. I have no idea how this happened, I haven't changed his diet or anything. His beak looks like any normal Russian beak, but the sides of his mouth look eroded like I said. I have no idea what to do about this. Is it common? Have anybody had any experience with this?

Without a picture it will be hard to tell but it could be mouth rot.

That's about as good of a picture as I could get

sorry - too blurry to see good. Is the lower beak gone?

From that blurry photo it looks more like the front of the top beak is overgrown, not the sides that are worn away. Its hard to tell.

Not that, I can assure you. Thanks for the input though

Upload another pic so we can get a better view. I can barley see it but it looks like mouth rot to me, like dmmj said.

If it is, is there any way to counter it?

You would have to to take the tortoise to the vet so that they can give you special treatment.
