I understand these all-in-one bulbs are the better choice for tortoises. Hope this helps, Kim **Q: What are the dimensions of the block? I'm curious if it'll fit in my turtle's food dish** A: 3.5"l x 1.25" h x 1.75"w. I have mine set in the substrate. My Russian tortoises haven't touched theirs. Hope this helps. Kim **Q: about how long does it last?** A: My tortoise would have nothing to do with this. i even shaved off some thinking it might be to big but nothing helped i tossed it away. **Q: Does this help to trim their beaks?** A: I'm not sure. I purchased this for my hatchling leopard tortoise but he didn't show any interest. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as described *by S***A on 4 May 2023* Great product thank you very much! ### ⭐ My torts just don’t consider that as food *by D***N on 21 May 2023* No one of my two leopards, two Indian star, two cherry heads and 2 Greek torts even tried to eat this!
