She was fine about it as she had a bit of a respritory infection and a bad skin infection on her back legs but I have sorted her out and she is now a relatively happy girl with a good apatite now.

Lovely to see Norma. Particularly all spruced up after her bath.

Did you use cuticle trimmer for her beak? So far I have used nail file, as I am not confident to clip yet, and as they don't seem to mind this haven't taken the plunge. However, thinking they may need it and may need to post some pictures for advice.

Yes I did you need to not mess around hold out the head and keep a tight hold you won't harm your tortoise.
