hi so I was wondering has anyone else experienced their puffer grinding its teeth. I have a t. abei and he seems to be grinding his teeth, but only at night, it's quite loud and sounds like a zipping sound, he gets snails with every meal so any advice or comments would be great

Normal behaviour.

Sounds normal to me, my F8 does a similar thing once and a while.

My abei always does 3 grinds/chirps in a row.

My F8s do this when begging for food. It's usually one of the pair that partake in this activity though.
