The Puffer Forum

Elvis was having a bit of constipation. I accidently discoved that feeding him seaweed keeps him regular.
I ran out of his sea veggies (seaweed) that I give him as a snack. I didn't get any for almost 3 weeks. I noticed about a week ago that he started to show signs of constipation. I bought some more sea veggies and bam! Problem solved.
Now he's a big pooh machine! Don't know if anyone else has ever tried this or had the same experience so I thought I would share. Elvis love's the purple sea veggies, you can get them online or at petsmart. They are called Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies. Here's a link: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.j ... Id=2755437

Well...That would make sense. The seaveggies must contain natural fiber. I would imagine, like humans, eating bran or a good healthy veggies keeps them regular. Boy, I have the "I puff when I poo" (PP) going through my head right now.....

stars loves nori... won't let the angel anywhere near it..

I eat sea weed its tastie

"I puff when I poo" (PP)

Please don't let this get around...

Frozen formula one has lots of seaweeds in it, and most puffers love it. Just fyi

We'll keep it quiet, just us and the rest of the forum . I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and I really needed it that day.

Darn, now all my secrets are out.

most all sw puffers are omnivorous and would eat various macroalgae if they were in the wild. many of the toby puffers have macroalgae as a major component of their diet. so, if say you cut a vital part of your diet, i'm sure you would discover some discomfort when you are.....you know.....mid puff

I am going to have to try the sea veggies. My solandri Buda is destroying my halimeda. Maybe he just wants a salad.
