snookie Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 what size snails are you giving him ? ,also could try a ,crab leg ,shrimp trimming teeth should be a last resort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Ones about the size of his eye. Live shrimp or frozen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 frozen or live ,nice and crunchie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 as snookie says, should be fine if he is eating. if they get overgrown so he can't eat you need to put him to sleep and manually trim him, but that won't be necessary if you feed appropriate food now...
