My Russian Tortoise was bought from a pet store that said lettuce and kale would be a good diet. I know now that this is not true, but I'm still afraid of his beak overgrowing. I will post pictures if necessary. His beak isn't obviously overgrown, but it's not as worn down as the photos of the 100% healthy tortoises-- it doesn't extend down to much but goes a bit past where his lower jaw begins. I will take him to the vet soon to get wormed, so should I ask for them to trim his beak? Or, since it looks fine, should I just supply cuttlebone or a ZooMed banquet block or something? I'm just sort of reluctant on this because my tortoise is a picky eater .
