i’ve noticed recently that my tortoises beak is getting filed down a lot on the stone he eats off of and it’s now forming an upside down U shape.

it’s also slightly cracked up his beak a little bit too.

i’m just wondering if this shape is normal or if he needs to eat off of something softer.

It wouldn't hurt to stop with the stone for a while. Start using it when you notice his beak starting to grow then stop again when its filed back to where it should be and so on.
