F8 biting rocks?

Post by ittybitty »

Weve noticed our F8 puffer biting the rocks, well maybe not actually biting them maybe nipping? Her teeth look fine, she gets snails, crayfish, shrimp.... We just hadnt noticed the behavior before and are worried she might chip her teeth. Anyone have their "little" honeys do this?

she's probably adding some veggies to her diet and eating algae. I wish mine would do that!

I wouldn't worry about chipped teeth, since their teeth are constantly growing it would only be a temporary problem?
