Puffer diet

Post by dark_knights_99 »

Hi I'm new here. Just wanted to know if a live tibifex worms are ok as another staple diet for the puffers. And does frozen food (frozen shrimps or krill) help in trimming the puffer's teeth?

Anything that has the shell still on (that they have to crunch through) will help with teeth-maintenance.
Job 12:7-10. But ask the animals, and they will teach you; or birds of the air
and they will tell you; or speak to the earth and it will teach you; or let the fish
of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the
lord has done this. In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all
mankind.

Are Shrimps (with shell on) ok to trim down the puffer's teeth? How bout the the frozen foods?
