over feed my gsp snails? When we first got him about 2 weeks ago he ate them non-stop, now he sniffs them and forgets about them.
I wonder If we overfed him and wore his beak down to far. He ate primarily snails (a ton of them) because he wouldn't eat anything else.
It just seems weird that he would stop eating his favorite food. Now he loooves krill, which he hated before. Weird

Its probably becuase krill is easier to eat as there is less effort required, its best not to offer too much krill as it will lead to nutritional deficiencies. Feed krill once every 10 days and I bet the snails will be back on the menu

You neeed a much more varied diet for your puffer. See the article on puffer food options in our Library.
