Shellson Mandela

Hello, I have a problem with my Russian Tortoise, Shellson Mandela. His beak is getting pretty (picture attached), and I'm fairly new to the tortoise game, so I am hesitant to try trimming it myself. I tried giving him a cuttlefish bone, but he wants nothing to do with it, and he's had it for about two weeks. I was thinking maybe he doesn't know what to do with it? Is there anything I can do to get him to try the cuttlebone? I've also been feeding him on a slate rock, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. What should my next step be in trying to keep his beak at a healthy length?
