Water bowl
Hi everyone, It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I wanted to share a water bowl idea I had the other day in case it’s helpful to anyone else. It used to bother me all the time when I just used a standard bowl that as soon as my tortoise would enter it...

Re: Horsfield beak
She wants to give him a good few weeks with the Nutrabol and then see how he goes. She wasnt overly concerned but did say if if in a few weeks they need to take a bit off they will but she wants to leave it for the time being.

Re: Horsefield beak
Hi,
Thank you so much for the prompt replies, it sounds like a trip to the vets in in order. I’m getting so worried it’s going to affect how he eats etc.
The substrate I use is the ready mixed Tortoise terrain from pets at home.
Thanks again.
