Amazon/ South American Puffers
Posted: Wed May 05, 2021 7:10 am
Hi, I'm new to keeping Puffers, love my 4 Amazons (Goofy, Bumblebee, Alan & Scare-dy Boo) they have settled in well but still glass surfing, but understand from reading other posts this can be normal for a while. But biggy for me, is getting their food right. The shop only fed them blood worms, so they are fussy as, taken nearly 2 weeks to convince them snails are a good food choice (had to trim their teeth within 1st week of getting them as they were so long
) also seen a post about rapashy mixed with oyster shell, which they nibble at but not mad about yet but I use this to add a little garlic to help with their digestion and parasites. But wanting to know what else is good to feed them and best place to get hold of it in the UK. Was going to get freeze dried krill but been adviced can damage their jaws. Just want the best for them to ensure they're grow strong and healthy. And any other tips/ advice will be gratefully appreciated.
