QUESTION ABOUT FAHAKA PUFFER DIET

Post by YOSHI_070706 »

I currently own a Fahaka puffer "Yoshi". He is now 6 inches long, When I 1st got him he is soo hooked and going crazy whenever I feed him frozen krills, but now he doesn't even bother to eat krill anymore, so I switched to frozen bloodworms and he loves it and goes crazy on it, but my main concern is that his teeth seems to be a little bit overgrown and I want to coax him into eating frozen shell cockles, which I've tried so many times but he doesn't eat them or get close to it at all. What else should I try to feed him to [revent his beak from over growing? Right now he is happily eating frozen bloodworms daily. Does anyone have any suggestions on what should I feed "Yoshi" to prevent his teeth from over growing? Thanks.

And please don't use all caps. That is considered YELLING.

Snails are usually best for puffer teeth. There should be info in the food article boxermom mentioned ;)
