I was at a snail farm near Sussex, I saw how the snails were fed pawpaw. I was sort of shocked because I wondered how snails could feed on the pawpaws.

Snails are packing dozens of rows of pearly whites, with a single snail boasting anywhere between 2000 and 15,000 teeth between its jaws. Up close, the inside of a snail’s mouth looks like it’s lined with Velcro. The snail teeth hook inward, making it easy for the animal to latch onto its meal and slide it down its gullet.
You might not think so by just taking a look at them but snails actually do have teeth. In fact the average garden snail has over 14,000 of teeth – a costly scale and polish for sure.
