Bcummings8521 not to be argumentative ... but so are lots of other things. Animals have a way of knowing what is good and bad for them. What would kill one animal may be perfectly safe for another. I am inclined to believe that tadpoles in North America are on the safer side. I don't think they develop the toxins until they become amphibious. Just a thought... I thought that about puffers also and was totally off base.
Apparently the way puffers digest the food and the types of foods causes them to become toxic, but for other animals it is no problem. Strange...

I'm sure your puffer would eat a hot dog but I bet it's not good for him.
