- Watch as I try to trim TipToe's beak for the first time ON MY OWN! I'll be attempting some fun little techniques from the vet to make sure this big boy is looking handsome. Will my 175lb tortoise make this process smooth and easy, or will I have to call for backup?

I love how taking care of Tiptoe is a family event. ❤
oh yeah I don't know how I would do it without them
Tiptoe should be in a children's book. Would be great!
"...a roll of tape, a container of strawberries and a drill bit..."
Absolute essentials for every DIY project.
hahahahha DIY girl
i know he was scared but tiptoe going into his shell and covering his head with his arms was the cutest thing i’ve ever seen ❤️
Poor Baby! He looked quite vulnerable and sweet when he covered up his head with his arms.
Yeah you tell he wasn't hsppy....
I love when you look at him say how handsome he is. That is true love. I love when he wears his hat
Tiptoe did a wonderful job! That task does not look easy, but great teamwork!
Happy Saturday!☀️🐢🌺💜
What a star, I love the way he heads straight for the camera for his close up... it might be a daily process, so he gets used to the noise and the feeling of the file.
he adores the camera, his new favorite thing is to knock it over and/or sit on it
Tiptoe. Your family loves you so much
I love watching him run he’s so precious
Poor Tiptoe! He just wants a Berry
You mean "shrawberry"! crikey- this girl needs to learn to pronounce the "strawberry"!
It's funny how he hasn't got a clue 😂. He only want strawberries and good boys pets. 😅
just wants to party
@@joymcguire 😆😆😆
@@joymcguire Two Generations of our country do not know how to pronounce words that begin with the sound “ST”
For some reason they add an “H” so it becomes “SHRawberry
or Shreet or Shraw
It's so cute when he tries to hide his head. He's like Baby Grogu going "No. No. No. No. No.."
Wow! Who knew? Caitlin, beak-surgeon...your next calling. Line up all you beak-babies. Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Soon to be a pro!!
awwww we must get him prepared for his stardom! 😂😂 love you T 😘🐢
Now he wants you to pick him up and give him a big hug!
I love Tiptoe and I love watching him eat and bathe and do all he's used to doing and more. I would love to have a tortoise
We love tiptoe here in the UK too , we adore watching him barge out thru his doors especially, always puts a smile on my face.💕❤️.
Cait you did a great job. You think about everything pertaining to his thoughts and movements and adjust your stratagies based on that. Because you know him very well 19 yrs well and you know what he will do to that drill and what it can do to him. Safety is always number one. You'll get it done maybe not all at once but you know it will happen and it's not in desperate need... Keeping Tiptoes smile extra happy... So funny Grace was like urmm Ma I can help I promise I can do zoomies and distract T while you get his mouth.... LOL
Be careful not to hurt his tongue!
Absolutely ❤ tiptoe! You have insane patience! Thanks for sharing tip toe with us!
It so cute Mr. T movie his arm when grandpa was help
Tiptoe look so beautiful and cute this morning. Hope he and your families have a great Easter 🐣
T is growing bigger...big BOY👍💜
Thank you for loving him so much 💕
Thanks for sharing your video. Tiptoe definitely was on a mission.
I laughed so hard when he pulled in his whole head!!😹
Thank you for posting the pictures of you and Tiptoe when you guys were little in an earlier video!❤
Next question?
Do you take him to where he is with others like him where he gets playmates? Does he interact well with other tortoises?
Your such a great provider for Tiptoe and it's a given he loves you!
Tiptoe is no fool. Sure he wanted the flower, but he knew it was a trick to dremel his beak. So he waited until you turned it off and it was safe.
That hurt to watch. Poor little turtle. Fascinating creatures. Gorgeous girl.
I never thought I would say a tortoise was cute.. but he is cute.. living his best life.
Sooo cute! Patience is so important when doing this kind of turtle grooming. U did amazing! I look forward to TipToe’s videos every day!☺️❤️🐢 I love him! Thanx for sharing him with us.
Me too luv him ❤
Thank you so much for sharing!! Much appreciation and respect from Rochester NY USA ❤❤
What an interesting process! Tiptoe is such a good boy! (And man, he eats strawberries like it’s his job. Which, I guess, I kinda is. 😂🐢)
Even TT hates going to the dentist!!
I LOVE TipToe!! Thank you for all your hard work Caitlin!
So do I! Thank you so much, Jino!
HE IS SO BRAVE
Another day with the happiest turtle ever.
Such a happy critter ❤
OMG, I was so nervous 😮He sure got alot of strawberries in the bargain 😊He is so funny ❤Oh my, he gets insecure and sits on your lap on ☹️Your Pup didn't sound like she liked the nail trimmers 😊 You all did a great job 👍🏻🌟❤️
I luv watching your videos about Tiptoe. U make them so good. Thank u!
I would say Caitlin, that trimming down his mouth would seem like something you would do every week until it is taken care of.
I love how you are so caring about his health & well being. You really love the big guy!
You're a good Mom Caitlin ❤ A lot of patience ❤ Good boy Tiptoe 😊Joan
Bless you Tip Toe 🙏🙏🙏
Can't wait for our little sulcatta, Rocky to grow as big as TipToe. It's funny to see your big guy doing the same exact things as Rocky.
Rocky is the perfect name, they have such fun personalities it is so fun to watch them maneuver through the world
Tiptoe is very smart. He's gonna be hard to fool
You are so wonderful with him!
And I thought clipping my cat's toenails was a lot. Tip Toe is one lucky boy with a terrific family watching over him.
Tiptoe: "Hoomans are the craziest peoples...'🤣
Really? Hoomans.... that trend ended years ago.
@@coronalight77 nothing ever ends.
@@stevencorey7702 Nothing, last forever...
@@TSD438 a moment's happiness can seem like an eternity...try it sometime.
Happy Easter to Tip Toe, Caitlin and their Family. 🐰🐢🥰
Happy Easter, we hope that you had a beautiful day
Next time at the dentist: I pull my head back like Tiptoe. 😂
Just curious: in the wild, what would be happening? Would his beak be wearing down naturally due to grazing?
Second question: what would be the downside of not trimming TT’s beak? (Would it impede his ability to eat?)
That's a great question -- typically they are able to naturally shave their beaks down by eating from the ground. Tiptoe had a pretty nasty chip a few years ago that gave him two "fangs". I was getting worried that he would catch a fang on something and it would chip his beak again
Congratulations on a successful trim. It's definitely not easy and you gotta work on their time, with whatever room they give you. Your dad made out like a pro! I know Tip toe is thankful. He's gonna need an extra spa day. ⛱️🐢🌴
I’m sure his smile will be improved when you are done
Forgot to mention, if you do the foam nail file method, Tiptoe does not have to open his mouth. Just place the nail file gentle under his top beak while holding his head and glide it gently with very minimum pressure as you would file your nails.
He's so cute.he knows his mommy
That reminds me of trying to clip my dogs toenails, my dog was such a drama queen! My dog had a toy which was just a solid rubber ring, maybe that'd work better than tape for the future? It's a struggle being a pet parent x
Well there is sunshine & strawberries!
Seriously, such a great video! Tiptoe has a great family! Love it! Thanks for sharing! 🐢
I'll ask my hair dresser for a strawberry today.
honestly its a great little treat hahaha
Poor Tiptoe. The vibrations could be troublesome. Have a great day.
He’s getting so many “free” berries and flowers! Can tortoises do clicker training? He could get a click and a Berry every time the dremel touches his beak. You could also use flowers and strawberries to teach him to push his head into your hand, if you can do that with a tortoise. They are so very intelligent, but who knows what they’re capable of learning, and how they learn?
Mr T was so unimpressed 😂 I wonder if a walk around the block, let him soak, and then trim while he snacks before a nap?
It did look much better, I agree that the dog nail trimmer is a better option. ❤
Caitlin , there is a white stone for birds that helps with their beaks and I have seen garden state tortoise use that with his turtles to keep their choppers good.
This maybe
И вы тоже прекрасный человек. Спасибо за ваши старания и заботу
I wonder if her parents realized they were actually choosing their first grandson all those years ago,not buying a pet lol 😂
Hi both 🐢🥬great to see tiptoe being pampered 🐢🥬🐢🐢
We all around the world love tipto
Tiptoe loves to wiggle his bottom when his shell is scratched and he scratches himself on bushes and grass. Would love to see a video about all the ways Tiptoe does the 'shimmy'. We have seen clips of him dancing but it was never enough... :)
He obviously loves you Caitlin. Otherwise I think Tippy would've been in The Shell. My dog would never even let me trim his nails!
I think standing over him is a better way as you have a little more control. Is this something that has to be done on a regular basis? I bet you guys didn't know what you were getting yourselves into when you got this pet from Santa all those years ago. But Kudos to you and your family for hanging in there with all those challenges that caring for this pet has entailed. Glad you have a vet you can take him to should an emergency arise or for that yearly checkup. I bet he has a lot of fans. He's quite personable for a tortoise which makes him fun to watch. He's 175 lbs and that's pretty heavy if he should step on your toe. We have a 170 lb Great Dane that is on a Weight Management food due to his weight gain and when he steps on my toe, I know it immediately. Thank you for sharing your videos. I love how you have added heat to his pool water. Thank you again for your lovely videos. The best to you and yours!
Standing over him was definitely the best way to do it. This is only our second time trimming his beak (he chipped it significantly 2 years ago trying to eat a rock) so this was just a little cleanup. Oh yeah I have a wicked mark on my foot from Tiptoe's continuous weight on it. A 170 lb Great Dane must be the best!! That's a big ole baby
@@caitlinandtiptoe Actually he is a baby in a way. He has this unique habit of balling up his blankets and sort of suck on them. And if it looks like you are going to put away his blankets, he runs over and grabs them one by one and carries them into the front parlor and lays across them so that you can't get them. We only let him have three at a time and this way he always has clean blankets. When you see he makes little holes in them, it's time to replace them with new blankets. Since he gained so much weight, we had to replace his cookies with rice cakes and he really likes them now. Our Vet said to try and keep his weight at 150, easier said than done, but he's getting better so hopefully by the summer he should be there. He's just three this year so he's got plenty of time to get his weight down and suck more blankets.
Well done Tiptoe, he is amazing
As a woodcarver and a Sulcata owner this is a good idea but the dremel and dog nail grinder get hot with friction I'm going to try it in short intervals.
Good boy Tiptoe! I’m proud of you ❤
Mad skills😊 Great rationship❤
run tiptoe run run run
I seen a show somewhere in England that had a free roaming turtle in the backyard. A woman came to visit them with red toe nail polish 💅 & as they were talking the turtle bit her toe 😂
I used to feel nervous at the dentist too
Once your team learned to stabilize the instrument hand on the head of the tortise you had a much greater chance of success. Also obtain some high quality carbide burs. Definitely fine cut. Consult your dentist.
I used to have to trim my pigs tusks.....I feel your pain 😂
It's just so unpleasant but gotta be done
I ended up using a wire, bone saw. The Dremel noise was too much for him.
Definitely loving your little big friend. But for future file downs, I would suggest wearing safety glasses for your eye’s safety. 😊
Caitlin your now a dental hygienist that makes house calls. You had a great patient.
Pro-Tip here...smear lots of strawberry on the masking tape roll...he can taste the glue from the tape and spits the roll out
Very interesting now I know what to do with my sulcata turtles
He's like you guys are being weird today
I"ve never seen him fully tuck in like that in all the clips i've seen so far. 4:34
Great video.😊
So nice shOes Pretty Caitlin hehehe hi and hello to u and Parents and alSo to TiptOoeee ❤😍😘
Cute how the dog was worrying about Tiptoe too! ❤ I like watching him walk around the neighborhood. Have u taken him to a dog park or anything?
Very sweet ❤❤❤ love to met him
Love y'all gorgeous
No-one noticed TipToe doing a runner at 2:35 - sneaky boy, lol
Ой какой чудный малыш 🩵🩵🩵🍀🥺🐢🩵
MR T NEEDS A SPA DAY…HAPPY EASTER..🤙
Aww good boy tiptoe
Good job Caitlin and Tiptoe. I’d be a bundle of nerves
Maybe ask the local zoo exotics staff for some training on what is acceptable pressure when trimming his beak. To how to go about spot training in positive rewards. They do this as part of enrichment training for eg traveling boxes, medical care to looking into there mouths checking teeth ect. Just a thought 😊
It is a start! It all begins with little steps. I did that when I first learn to trim my horses hooves and now he’s pretty good at that maybe I should try to electric drill?…
I cant trust myself with the dremel. My local exotic vet does a great job, but the torts hate me afterwards. I try to win them back with bananas
Would a bigger carrot sideway ,if he clamps down on it keep beak open long enough to grind beak 🐢
oooo this could work
That tortoise is living the dream …. Lots of love and treats …
Wow! Did your vet show you how to do this? When do you know when to trim it?
He wants to take his mommy for a ride😅.
Please show us the progress of his beak trimming!
