Feeding Portions

Post by migitymke »

Hi All,

Now that I have discovered what to feed my Hairy Puffer, I'm trying to dial in on "how" much is healthy in terms of portions and frequency. I've having good luck now with just about anything the little guy can fit in his mouth (live or prepared food)but I don't want to overfeed.

Suggestions are appreciated!

Cheers,

m

I'm feeding mine 2x/week but he's still growing.

I generally feed him well every 2 days (he's about 3"). I think he would eat everyday if I let him, acts like he is starving. He is certainly voracious!
