Im getting a porcupine puffer this week and i was wondering what are some cheap foods my puffer can eat on a regular basis to make sure the beak doesnt get to big?

Porcupine puffers belong to a different family than most other puffers. Their teeth grow only to a degree in which they are used, and they do not need a hard shelled diet.

However, you can feed clams, shrimps, crabs, scallops and so on... depending on the size of the puffer. Be sure to add vitamins on a regular basis when feeding mostly frozen foods. Also see the feeding article in the library.
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Give a fish a man, and he'll eat for weeks.
