my lion's mouth won't close all the way. when feeding he can't attack the food the way he used to. i think it's hard for him to eat. has anyone had this problem with a lion before? any ideas?

James:
what have you been feeding this lion? how much how often?
Do you have large chunked substrate in the tank?
I have seen this a number of times, but it can occur from a few reasons.
More info will help
