Beak Length

[shelloise]

I have an Eastern box turtle. His beak looks the same as when I got him but I'm not sure how long it should be. The previous owner said he had cracked it a bit on a rock when he was chasing crickets

Your ORNATE box turtle's beak IS overgrown a bit. You can either clip off the very edge, or start feeding it on a very rough surface...something like a piece of rough cement.

Thanks , would work best to click the beak? She was sold to me and the seller said she was an eastern, so thanks for letting me know.

I would be afraid to clip the beak myself! Could you feed him on a rock? It'll wear down after a while...

He has a rock and cement slab. When I got him the previous owner said he had cracked his beak
What is used to trim a beak?
