Mmm, crucchy ;)
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

You can try, but don't feel too bad if they get eaten.. if you will feel bad, don't try.

Some puffers will allow it, but by and far, they'll be looked at as tasty treats.

And remember, many of the saltwater snails have those extremely hard shells (make a MTS shell look thin and soft) and the puffer could break their teeth on them.. so that's something to consider.

Yyyyeah and even if they leave them alone...on food-skipping day my GSP gets cranky and eats a hermit.
