I was told yes n no but watching him eat on his own he gets more food in when I hold it.. so yes..I think I should not me.. looking for a possible experienced person.. lchecking reptile shop..because the Vets I have called just to see him is $90.00 .. then more.. not to say to much.. our Beagle just Emergency for Seizures.. after 2.5 weeks he passed ( I miss him badly)but our Vet money is truly over spent in the Thousands .. say 6,000. So don't think we're cheap.. just got to be careful. But my goal to help King Arthur beak.. forsure. Thank for commenting.20 minutes or an hour both fine.
However, the beak needs a trim
It looks fine to me. The water is up past the place the two shells meet.

Ok.. I see what you mean, Thank you.The water pool should be inset down into a rounded digout in the ground so that the tortoise steps down into it . If he has to clamber and balance on the side of it to come out, that's when he will likely tip over onto his back.
$90 for a beak trim??? Holy cow I should start offering it for $50 and make a killing!I was told yes n no but watching him eat on his own he gets more food in when I hold it.. so yes..I think I should not me.. looking for a possible experienced person.. lchecking reptile shop..because the Vets I have called just to see him is $90.00 .. then more.. not to say to much.. our Beagle just Emergency for Seizures.. after 2.5 weeks he passed ( I miss him badly)but our Vet money is truly over spent in the Thousands .. say 6,000.

I always put a rock or stone in the dish so they have something to claw onto if they flip. A slightly smaller clay saucer inside these deeper dishes also works. But I’m home with mine 24/7 so that helps too.You could do a little at a time on the beak with toe nail clippers.
Its not really soaking if they can climb out anytime they feel like it. That is just placing your tortoise in water. If he chooses to sit in there, then by all means continue doing it that way, but be careful and keep a constant eye on him, that is just the sort of tub that they can flip upside down in as they try to climb out.
You can introduce some largish rocks of different textures to its environment to help,mine loves to chomp on rocks.I was told yes n no but watching him eat on his own he gets more food in when I hold it.. so yes..I think I should not me.. looking for a possible experienced person.. lchecking reptile shop..because the Vets I have called just to see him is $90.00 .. then more.. not to say to much.. our Beagle just Emergency for Seizures.. after 2.5 weeks he passed ( I miss him badly)but our Vet money is truly over spent in the Thousands .. say 6,000.

No pain to the torts.. I'm scaredI use a glass to tape them onto so they can’t get off and I have two free hands to work with. I hold their head out with one hand and dremmel the with the other.
Tbh, they usually don’t mind at all and will begin to eat and eat and eat now that it is much easier to do.No pain to the torts.. I'm scared
