I buy the big bags of frozen, raw, shell on shrimp from the grocery store. Thaw one out and let the puffers chew on it until I think they've had enough. If there's leftovers, you can put them in the fridge in a ziploc bag for a day and feed again the next day, but mine will often turn their noses up at it the second day.

That's my main "diet", along with nightcrawlers and snails. All of mine are extremely picky eaters have I've yet to find anything else they like, clams, squid, etc.

Check your local grocery stores fresh seafood dept. This is where I buy crabs, clams, mussels and shrimp. I freeze them in a ziploc bag and defrost one when it's time to feed. The crabs I buy, I break in half then cut the half in half and freeze them. I feed them 1/4 at a time. My local HEB keeps these items year round.

I would get a bag of mussels.clams and feed them on the half shell.

If you want to oped them easily i would soak the clams/mussels in warm water for a minute.
