- Boris is very good with letting me do whatever I feel like to him,
including checking out his mouth and teeth. They don't look bad to me, but I
am the C/S manager of a manufacturing facility... not a vet.

- Both Salem & Boris eat only Totally Ferret, so diet can't be the reason.
They get liquid viatmins and Lax-aire for treats. Occasionally Salem gets
rasins too, but Boris dosent like them... he's weird. :)
Thanks again for your suggestions!
