General Care Discussion :: Overgrown beak?!

[SneakySushie]

Okay so my musk turtles beak looks slightly overgrown, what can I do so it naturally trims down on it's own?> I was thinking of feeding her snails....

Musks and similar turtles usually have more prominent-looking beaks in general. It may be just fine. Could you post a picture?

Snails would be okay, but it's not good to feed them wild ones. Pet store ones may not be ideal, either. They're parasite vectors. The best thing to do is to try and breed them. It's really easy.

Or, if you don't like using snails for some reason, cuttlebone bone works really well.
