You have to turn them all in at once. Don't worry, you can mount and fight with them attached by the rope.
These guys are super sensitive if you are too high level.
Soft Foam Sword did get them to 10% but never triggered the grab icon.
Had to take weapon and some clothes off to punch down - 50% is required to trigger grab.

What to do
Description
Bonetooths are the backbone of Maldraxxus's armed forces. Those that have been trained well are in demand amongst all of the houses. I always need new bonetooths to train, but they can be rather difficult to collect. Bring me some of the younger ones, and I will reward you greatly. Be advised that you may need to weaken them before you are able to capture them.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

I've carved out quite the reputation as a tauralus wrangler. Everyone needs a tauralus! You do some work for me, and people will know who you are as well. Take this bone splinter and poke a few juicy nibblers. Use them to lure a tauralus to you, then ride it back to me.
