Hi, I am new to the forum and have 3 russian tortoises.
Yesterday I got 2, male and female, 10 yr old. I think the underneath and there beaks are very bad. I was hoping someone could look at the pictures and help með solve the problems.
Yeah and I am sorry for the bad english.

Yes they need trimmed. It will help them eat better. You can have a vet do it. It also helps to feed them on a flat rock.

Where I live we have no vet's who can do it. I have a small dremel, if I do it by my self, do I take it in steps for some X time or all at once?
Is the underneath looking alright?

And then a flat slate or tile fo them to eat off and a cuttle bone will help keep it trimmed in the future.
