I was told to pop a snail shell and hand feed it to dog, but then he's liable to clean out all the snails. so for now his teeth look fine, has no problems eating, just waiting to see how it takes before I have to file them down. also difference between tank raised and caught from ocean is tremendous in terms of personality and appetite. _________ 75gal hex, 2-40w T12 48", odyssea 48" 4x65w PC's w/ lunars, 50lbs LR, 80lbs LS, gold banded maroon clown, dog faced puffer, juvenile blue angel, 2 dominoes, 1-4 stripe damsel, yellow watchman gobie, lawnmower blenny, mano, purple chromis, striped grouper, mexican turbo, astrea and red foot snails, striped, red and blue legged hermit crabs, coral banded shrimp, white and purple bubble coral(very little), red and green mushrooms, orange gorgonian, candycane  Tanks, No Thanks.
