    I think he was probably just born with a short tongue. I also read that the glands which produce the sticky mucus on the tongue don't function properly if they have short tongue syndrome so they can't catch their prey.

    Yep and that is what the Vitamin A is for. Vitamin A is used by their body to produce the mucus in those glands.
