Hello, im new here and just started takimg care of a dwarf puffer. for the two months that ive had him, ive been feeding him pond snails and frozen blood worms.

I am looking to expand the diet for him and have been wondering what other foods will be accepted for dwarf puffers. the foods i have been looking at are, Malysian trumpet snails, baby brine shrimp, live/frozen black worms, and freeze-dried tubiflex worms. i would also like to know what other foods will be potentially accepted my fickle lil'sucker as other options could be more financially fit for me.

MTS shell are too hard for the puffers to crunch. Baby brine is much too small. Try freeze-dried plankton & small pieces of shrimp.

................nearly any raw seafood, frozen/defrosted, chopped
clams, mussels, oysters, crab meat, shrimp, squid, lobster, use your imagination! :)
soak the raw frozen/chopped food in vitamins before feeding
also, small live snails and blackworms are a favorite
