Sorry this one never got answered... There are plenty of hard-shelled foods other than snails, you can feed to your puffer. See the feeding articles in our Library.

It's just that if they don't eat the snails, they will die pretty quickly & rot. this can especially become a problem if you have a lot of rock & they die behind it or in a crevasse.

I would feem them to him by dropping them at the front of the tank and any he didn't eat immediately went back to the holding tank.
