Please could someone tell me if Ruby's beak needs trimming. She's 10yrs old and in the last 4 weeks she has gone right off her food 😒. She seems to have some difficulty extending her head out over the bottom shell ! Thank you .

Yes. It is a little overgrown. When this happens, there is usually a reason for it. Often something is off in the enclosure, diet, lighting or temperature.

I'll leave this for your review to see if you can spot what it might be:

Thank you. I've tried really hard to follow all the advise in this link and she was eating really well up to 4 weeks ago but has now stopped and nothing will tempt her. I'll definitely re read all the info though just to double check if I've missed something 😒. We are in tge UK so weather has been challenging to say the least !!
